That Israel's name for ever may Be lost in memory. 5 For they consult with all their might, And all as one in mind Themselves against thee they unite, And in firm union bind. 6 The tents of Edom, and the brood Moab, with them of Hagar's blood, 7 Gebal and Ammon there conspire, The Philistines, and they of Tyre, Whose bounds the sea doth check. 8 With them great Ashur also bands And doth confirm the knot: All these have lent their armed hands To aid the sons of Lot. 9 Do to them as to Midian bold, That wasted all the coast, To Sisera, and as is told Thou didst to Jabin's host, When at the brook of Kishon old They were repuls'd and slain, 10 At Endor quite cut off, and roll'd As dung upon the plain. 11 As Zeb and Oreb evil sped, So let their princes speed, Lev jachdau. 40 21.-brood.] Race.

As Zeba, and Zalmunna bled, So let their princes bleed. 12 For they amidst their pride have said, By right now shall we seize God's houses, and will now invade • Their stately palaces. 13 My God, oh make them as a wheel, No quiet let them find, Giddy and restless let them reel Like stubble from the wind. 14 As when an aged wood takes fire Which on a sudden strays, The greedy flame runs higher and higher Till all the mountains blaze, 15 So with thy whirlwind them pursue, And with thy tempest chase; 16 And till they yield thee honour due; Lord, fill with shame their face. 17 Asham'd, and troubled let them be, Troubled and sham'd for ever, Ever confounded, and so die With shame, and scape it never. 18 Then shall they know that thou, whose name Jehovah is alone, Art the most high, and thou the same O'er all the earth art one. PSALM LXXXIV. 1 HOW lovely are thy dwellings fair! O Lord of Hosts, how dear Neoth Elohim bears both. 'They seek thy name. Heh. 45 50 55 60 65 5 10 15 The pleasant tabernacles are, Where thou dost dwell so near! 2 My soul doth long and almost die Thy courts, O Lord, to see, My heart and flesh aloud do cry, O living God, for thee. 3 There ev❜n the sparrow freed from wrong Hath found a house of rest, The swallow there, to lay her young Hath built her brooding nest, Ev'n by thy altars, Lord of Hosts, They find their safe abode, And home they fly from round the coasts 4 Happy, who in thy house reside, Where thee they ever praise, 5 Happy, whose strength in thee doth bide, And in their hearts thy ways. 6 They pass through Baca's thirsty vale, That dry and barren ground, Where springs and show'rs abound. 7 They journey on from strength to strength With joy and gladsome cheer, Till all before our God at length In Sion do appear. 8 Lord God of Hosts, hear now my prayer, O Jacob's God give ear, 9 Thou God our shield look on the face Of thy anointed dear. 10 For one day in thy courts to be Is better, and more blest, |
