Upon The Words Of Chush The Benjamite Against Him | B |
- | |
Lord my God to thee I flie | C |
Save me and secure me under | D |
Thy protection while I crie | D |
Least as a Lion and no wonder | D |
He hast to tear my Soul asunder | D |
Tearing and no rescue nigh | E |
- | |
Lord my God if I have thought | F |
Or done this if wickedness | G |
Be in my hands if I have wrought | F |
Ill to him that meant me peace | H |
Or to him have render'd less | I |
And fre'd my foe for naught | F |
- | |
Let th'enemy pursue my soul | C |
And overtake it let him tread | J |
My life down to the earth and roul | C |
In the dust my glory dead | J |
In the dust and there out spread | J |
Lodge it with dishonour foul | C |
- | |
Rise Jehovah in thine ire | D |
Rouze thy self amidst the rage | K |
Of my foes that urge like fire | D |
And wake for me their furi' asswage | K |
Judgment here thou didst ingage | K |
And command which I desire | D |
- | |
So th' assemblies of each Nation | L |
Will surround thee seeking right | M |
Thence to thy glorious habitation | L |
Return on high and in their sight | M |
Jehovah judgeth most upright | M |
All people from the worlds foundation | L |
- | |
Judge me Lord be judge in this | N |
According to my righteousness | G |
And the innocence which is | O |
Upon me cause at length to cease | H |
Of evil men the wickedness | G |
And their power that do amiss | N |
- | |
But the just establish fast | P |
Since thou art the just God that tries | Q |
Hearts and reins On God is cast | P |
My defence and in him lies | Q |
In him who both just and wise | Q |
Saves th' upright of Heart at last | P |
- | |
God is a just Judge and severe | D |
And God is every day offended | R |
If th' unjust will not forbear | D |
His Sword he whets his Bow hath bended | S |
Already and for him intended | R |
The tools of death that waits him near | D |
- | |
His arrows purposely made he | T |
For them that persecute Behold | U |
He travels big with vanitie | U |
Trouble he hath conceav'd of old | U |
As in a womb and from that mould | U |
Hath at length brought forth a Lie | C |
- | |
He dig'd a pit and delv'd it deep | V |
And fell into the pit he made | U |
His mischief that due course doth keep | V |
Turns on his head and his ill trade | U |
Of violence will undelay'd | U |
Fall on his crown with ruine steep | V |
- | |
Then will I Jehovah's praise | W |
According to his justice raise | W |
And sing the Name and Deitie | U |
Of Jehovah the most high | C |
