Psalme LXXIV.
[Part 1.]
Lord; why hast Thou abandoned!
O why for ever! shall thine Ire
Consume, like a devouring Fire,
The Sheepe which in thy pastures fed!
O why for ever! shall thine Ire
Consume, like a devouring Fire,
The Sheepe which in thy pastures fed!
O thinke of those, who were thy owne;
By Thee of old from bondage brought:
Th'Inheritance which thou hast bought,
And Sion thy affected Throne.
By Thee of old from bondage brought:
Th'Inheritance which thou hast bought,
And Sion thy affected Throne.
Come, O come quickly, and survey
VVhat spoile the barbarous Foe hath made.
Lo! all in heaps of ruines laid;
Thy Temple their accursed prey.
VVhat spoile the barbarous Foe hath made.
Lo! all in heaps of ruines laid;
Thy Temple their accursed prey.
91
Like Lions, with sharpe Famine whet,
They in thy Sanctuarie roare;
All purple in thy Peoples gore;
And there their conquering Ensignes set.
They in thy Sanctuarie roare;
All purple in thy Peoples gore;
And there their conquering Ensignes set.
It was esteem'd a great renowne
With Axe to square the Mountaine Okes:
Now they demolish with their strokes,
And hew the carved Fabricke downe.
With Axe to square the Mountaine Okes:
Now they demolish with their strokes,
And hew the carved Fabricke downe.
Who lo! with all-infolding flame,
The beautie of the Earth devoure:
Profanely prostrate on the floore
That Temple sacred to thy Name.
The beautie of the Earth devoure:
Profanely prostrate on the floore
That Temple sacred to thy Name.
Now (said they) with a sudden hand,
Give we a generall End to all.
By Fire the holy structures fall,
Through this depopulated Land.
Give we a generall End to all.
By Fire the holy structures fall,
Through this depopulated Land.
Part. 2.
No Miracles amaze our Foes;
There are no Prophets to divine,
That might our miseries decline;
None know the period of our woes.
There are no Prophets to divine,
That might our miseries decline;
None know the period of our woes.
Ah! how long shall our Enemies
Exult, and glory in our shame!
How long shall they Blaspheme thy Name,
Great God, and thy slow Wrath despise!
Exult, and glory in our shame!
How long shall they Blaspheme thy Name,
Great God, and thy slow Wrath despise!
Thy Hand out of thy Bosome draw;
Nor longer thy Revenge with-hold:
My God, thou wast our King: The old
Amazed World thy Wonders saw.
Nor longer thy Revenge with-hold:
My God, thou wast our King: The old
Amazed World thy Wonders saw.
Thou struck'st the Erythræan waves,
VVhen Seas from Seas in tumult fled;
Brak'st the Ægyptian Dragons head,
And mad'st the joyning Flouds their Graves.
VVhen Seas from Seas in tumult fled;
Brak'st the Ægyptian Dragons head,
And mad'st the joyning Flouds their Graves.
That great Leviathan of Nile,
To Beasts and Serpents, which possesse
The drie and foodlesse VVildernesse,
By Thee delivered for a Spoile.
To Beasts and Serpents, which possesse
The drie and foodlesse VVildernesse,
By Thee delivered for a Spoile.
Thou clav'st the Rock, from whose greene wound
The thirst expelling Fountaine brake:
Thou mad'st the heady Streames forsake
Their Chanels, and become dry ground.
The thirst expelling Fountaine brake:
92
Their Chanels, and become dry ground.
Part. 3.
The cheerfull Day, Night cloth'd in shade;
The Moon and radiant Sun are Thine:
Thy Bounds the swelling Seas confine;
Summer and VVinter by Thee made.
The Moon and radiant Sun are Thine:
Thy Bounds the swelling Seas confine;
Summer and VVinter by Thee made.
Great God of gods, forget not those
VVho Thee reprochfully despise.
Remember, Lord, the Blasphemies,
Cast on thee by our frantick Foes.
VVho Thee reprochfully despise.
Remember, Lord, the Blasphemies,
Cast on thee by our frantick Foes.
O! to the wicked Multitude
Surrender not thy Turtle-dove:
Nor from thy tender care remove
The Poore, by powerfull VVrong pursu'd.
Surrender not thy Turtle-dove:
Nor from thy tender care remove
The Poore, by powerfull VVrong pursu'd.
Thy Cov'nant, bound by Oath, maintain:
For Darknesse over-spreads the Face
Of all the Land; in every place
Destruction, Rape, and Slaughter reign.
For Darknesse over-spreads the Face
Of all the Land; in every place
Destruction, Rape, and Slaughter reign.
Let not th'opprest returne with shame;
But crown thee with deserv'd applause:
O patronize thy proper Cause:
Remember, Fooles revile thy Name.
But crown thee with deserv'd applause:
O patronize thy proper Cause:
Remember, Fooles revile thy Name.
O let their Sorrowes never cease,
VVho blast Thee with their Calumnies.
The tumuls of their Pride, who rise
Against Thee, every day increase.
VVho blast Thee with their Calumnies.
The tumuls of their Pride, who rise
Against Thee, every day increase.
