When fraud and force them overbear:
And precious shall their blood b' esteem'd
[verse 15] Long shall he live, and oft receive
Presents of Sheba's purest gold:
Men daily praise to him shall give,
And by their pray'rs his Crown uphold.
[verse 16] Great profit they that sow their seed,
Ev'n from the mountains tops shall make:
Each handfull shall such plenty breed,
Its crop like Lebanon shall shake.
Yea, Zion's Citizens shall grow
Thick, as the great that hides the ground:
[verse 17] Whiles his great name, that blest them so,
Continues ever more renown'd.
A name his issue shall possess,
Whiles the Suns motion governs Time:
For ev'ry nation shall him bless,
And ev'ry one be blest in him.
[verse 18] Blest be the Lord, th' Almighty God,
The God that Israel doth own:
The wonders wrought in th' earth abroad
Who worketh by himself alone.
[verse 19] And blessed be his holy name,
When time it self no more is found:
May th' earth be filled with his fame,
And all Amen, Amen, resound.
The Father Son, and Spirit one
Eternal God, in Persons three:

As was before the world begun,
Now, and for ever honour'd be.
