PSALM 53. v. 4–6. (C. M.) Victory and Deliverance from Persecution.
I
Are all the foes of Sion fools,Who thus devour her saints?
Do they not know her Saviour rules,
And pities her complaints?
II
They shall be seiz'd with sad surprise;For God's avenging arm
Scatters the bones of them that rise
To do his children harm.
III
In vain the sons of Satan boastOf armies in array;
When God has first despis'd their host,
They fall an easy prey.
IV
O for a word from Sion's KingHer captives to restore!
Jacob with all his tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more.
