Psalm LX. (Book 60)

Lowath Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉O God, thou didst us once for--sake: 〈♫〉〈♫〉and we were scat-ter'd then: 〈♫〉〈♫〉Thou wast dis-pleas'd but O be-take 〈♫〉〈♫〉thy self to us a---gain. [verse 2] The earth sore broken with thy hand doth tremble, Lord, and quake, O heal the breaches of our land for it doth bow and shake.

[verse 3] Things that were hard and rigorous thou hast impos'd on thine: And thou hast given drink to us of stupifying wine. [verse 4] Yet gav'st thou them that feared thee the banner of thy aid, Because of truth and veritie, to be on high displai'd. [verse 5] Now, Lord, that thy beloved land delivered may be; Save with the pow'r of thy right hand, and harken unto me. [verse 6] In holiness Jehovah speak, with joy I go about All Shechem to divide and take, and Succoth vale mete out. [verse 7] Manasseh must to me subcribe, and Gil'ad stand in aw: My chiefest strength is Ephraims tribe, and Judah gives my law. [verse 8] On Edom I will set my foot, my wash-pot Mo'b shall be: And thou, O Palestina, shout, and that because of me. [verse 9] But who will lead me all the way unto the city strong? And who will guide me, that I may to Edom go along? [verse 10] Thou, Lord, that hadst cast off our coast, and thou, O God, ev'n thou That lately wentst not with our hoast. wilt thou not guide me now? [verse 11] The help of man is vanity; Lord, help us in distress, [verse 12] Through God we shall do valiantly, he shall our foes suppress.
