PSAL. LXXVI.
Sing this as the Prayer after the Commandements.
[verse 1] IN Iudah God is know'n; His NameThe Israelites for Great proclaime. [verse 2] His Tabernacles Salem grace,And Sion is His dwelling place.
[verse 3] There He the Bow and arrowes broke,And Battailes to confusion shooke.

The glittering sword, the guarding shield,Could not resist, nor safety yield.
[verse 4] Thou of more honour art then they,Who rove upon the Hills of prey: [verse 5] For They, whose pride did us embroile▪Are now themselves become a spoile.
A lasting sleep shuts up their eyes,And all their strength in weaknes dyes: [verse 6] At Thy rebuke the barbed horse,And armed Chariots loose their force.
[verse 7] Thou Lord art fear'd; who may withstandThe fury of Thy pow'rfull hand? [verse 8] From Heaven we Thy Judgments heard,The trembling earth was still, and fear'd.
[verse 9] When God the meek and humble saves,But gives the proud untimely graves, [verse 10] He on their fall his fame doth raise,And turnes their malice to His praise.
[verse 11] Vow to the Lord your God, and bringTo Him your promis'd offering: [verse 12] He Princes spirits can restraine,And Kings of earth with terrour chaine.
