Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFGHEIJKJKHHHH HEHELIMINHNHHHHHHDHD HHHHHOHPEHEHLOLOOOQK KLQLGDGDBe not thou silent now at length | A |
O God hold not thy peace | B |
Sit not thou still O God of strength | A |
We cry and do not cease | B |
For lo thy furious foes now swell | C |
And storm outrageously Jehemajun | D |
And they that hate thee proud and fill | E |
Exalt their heads full hie | F |
Against thy people they contrive Jagnarimu | G |
Their Plots and Counsels deep Sod | H |
Them to ensnare they chiefly strive Jithjagnatsu gnal | E |
Whom thou dost hide and keep Tsephuneca | I |
Come let us cut them off say they | J |
Till they no Nation be | K |
That Israels name for ever may | J |
Be lost in memory | K |
For they consult with all their might Lev jachdau | H |
And all as one in mind | H |
Themselves against thee they unite | H |
And in firm union bind | H |
The tents of Edom and the brood | H |
Of scornful Ishmael | E |
Moab with them of Hagars blood | H |
That in the Desart dwell | E |
Gebal and Ammon there conspire | L |
And hateful Amalec | I |
The Philistims and they of Tyre | M |
Whose bounds the sea doth check | I |
With them great Asshur also bands | N |
And doth confirm the knot | H |
All these have lent their armed hands | N |
To aid the Sons of Lot | H |
Do to them as to Midian bold | H |
That wasted all the Coast | H |
To Sisera and as is told | H |
Thou didst to Jabins hoast | H |
When at the brook of Kishon old | H |
They were repulst and slain | D |
At Endor quite cut off and rowl'd | H |
As dung upon the plain | D |
As Zeb and Oreb evil sped | H |
So let their Princes speed | H |
As Zeba and Zalmunna bled | H |
So let their Princes bleed | H |
For they amidst their pride have said | H |
By right now shall we seize | O |
Gods houses and will now invade | H |
Their stately Palaces Neoth Elohim bears both | P |
My God oh make them as a wheel | E |
No quiet let them find | H |
Giddy and restless let them reel | E |
Like stubble from the wind | H |
As when an aged wood takes fire | L |
Which on a sudden straies | O |
The greedy flame runs hier and hier | L |
Till all the mountains blaze | O |
So with thy whirlwind them pursue | O |
And with thy tempest chase | O |
And till they yield thee honour due They seek thy | Q |
Lord fill with shame their face Name Heb | K |
Asham'd and troubl'd let them be | K |
Troubl'd and sham'd for ever | L |
Ever confounded and so die | Q |
With shame and scape it never | L |
Then shall they know that thou whose name | G |
Jehova is alone | D |
Art the most high and thou the same | G |
O're all the earth art one | D |
