LEt God arise, and then his foes
will turn themselves to flight:
His enemies then will run abroad,
and scatter out of sight.
[verse 2] And as the fire doth melt the wa••,
and wind blows smoke away:
So in the presence of the Lord,
the wicked shall decay.
[verse 3] But righteous men before the Lord
shall heartily rejoyce:
They shall be glad and merry all,
and cheerful in their voice.
[verse 4] Sing praise, sing praise unto the Lord,
who rideth on the sky:
Extol the Name of Jah our God,
and him do magnify.
[verse 5] The same is he that is above
within his holy place:
That Father is of fatherless,
and Judge of widows case.
[verse 6] Houses he gives and issue both
unto the comfortless:
He bringeth bondmen out of thrall,
and rebels to distress.
[verse 7] When thou didst march before thy folk
th'Egyptians from among,
And brought'st them through the wilder∣ness,
which was both wide and long:
[verse 8] The earth did quake, the rain pour'd down
heard were great claps of thunder:
The mount Sinai shook in such sort,
as it would break in sunder.
[verse 9] Thine heritage with drop, of rain
abundantly was washt:
And if so be it barren waxt,
by thee it was refresht.
[verse 10] Thy chosen flock doth there remain,
Thou hast prepar'd that place:
And for the poor thou dost provide
of thine especial grace.
