[ 1] DO not, O Lord, in our distress
An unconcern'd Spectator be;
Nor, deaf to all our loud requests,
Without regard our ruine see.
[ 2] For lo thy hateful foes insult,
And a tumultuous noise they make:
[ 3] Against thy People close designs
They lay, and crafty counsels take.
[ 4] Nothing their Malice will content,
Unless the Nation perish quite;
So that no memory may remain
Nor mention of an Israelite.
[ 5] Ten warlike Nations are combin'd,
[ 6 7] And all their Joint-Endeavours bent,

[ 8] T' extirpate thy Religion,
And to subvert the Government.
[ 9] Let Midian's Army's Fate be theirs,
Their fall like that of Sisera,
Or Jabin's Host by Kison's Streams
Discomfited and swept away.
[ 10] No other Burial may they have
Than that of those near Endor kill'd,
Whose Carkases were spread to rot
Like Dung, and serv'd t' enrich the field.
[ 11] Let all their Princes when they fight,
Fly with dishonour, and be ta'en,
As Zeb and Oreb were, and be
Like Zebah and Zalmunna slain.
