The second part.
[verse 11] God will give women causes just to magnify his Name, When as his people triumphs make, and purchase bruit and same.
[verse 12] For puissant kings for all their power, shall flee and take the soil; And women which remain at home shall help to part the spoil.
[verse 13] And though ye were as black as pots, your hue shall pass the dove, Whose wings and feathers seem to have silver and gold above▪
[verse 14] When in this land God shall triumph o're kings both high and low: Then shall it be like Salmon hill, as white as any snow.
[verse 15] Though Basan be a fruitful hill, and in height others pass: Yet Sion Gods most holy hill, doth far excel in grace.
[verse 16] Why brag ye thus ye hills most high, and leap for pride together?

The hill of Sion God doth love, and there will dwell for ever.
[verse 17] Gods army is two millions of warriours good and strong: The Lord also in Sinai is present them among. [verse 18] Thou didst (O Lord) ascend on high, and captives led'st them all, Which in times past thy chosen flock in bondage kept and thrall.
Thou mad'st them tribute for to pay; and such as did repine Thou didst subdue, that they might dwell in thy temple divine. [verse 19] Now praised be the Lord, for that he pours on us such grace: From day to day he is the God of our health and solace.
