Part VI.
[verse 46] How long thy face, Lord, wilt thou vail?Shall thy wrath ne'r expire?Shall it burn on, till fuel fail,Like a consuming fire? [verse 47] O call to mind, how soon our spanOf life must have an end:Why hast thou formed every manHis days in vain to spend?
[verse 48] Where is the living man, that mayFrom death exemption have?Can he preserve his life, one day,From the devouring grave? [verse 49] Where is thy former kindness? where,Lord, is it now withdrawn?Which, unto David thou did'st swear,And laid'st thy truth to pawn.
[verse 50] Remember, Lord, how grievouslyReproach'd thy servants are:
descriptionPage 257
How the great mens reproaches, IWithin my bosome bear. [verse 51] The foul reproaches which have beenCast on us by thy foes:Whereby they blast the ways, whereinThine own anointed goes.
[verse 52] Unto the Lord that is most high,All blessing given be:From henceforth to Eternity;Amen, Amen, say we.
