CCXXVI. The PSALMS.
While the Great Spirit did Jesse's Son inspire,Thus sung the Bard and touch'd his heav'nly Lyre:
Of Bad and Good he sings the diff'rent Fate,
And next Messiah's glorious Reign and State;
Three Mournful Songs his Grief and Faith explain,
His Penitential Thoughts the Sixth retain.
The next of Saul, and proud Goliah treat,
And blame th'abhor'd Oppressions of the Great;
Who shall in Sion's sacred Mountain dwell,
The Saviour's Conquest over Death and Hell.
With Heav'n he pleads his injur'd Innocence,
And grateful Songs repays for Heav'ns Defence:
Nature and Revelation next he shows;
Proud Syria's Arms are broke, and God's and David's Foes.
The Saviour's Suff'rings shadow'd in his own,
His Trust in God; the Ascension then fore-shown:
His Sins and Sorrows then his Soul torment,
To Heav'n he cries when into Exile sent.
In lofty Hymns the Thunderer's Praise express'd;
Amidst his Friends his Name the Psalmist bless'd,
And then with contrite Heart his Sins confess'd.
Praise.—Achish.—Dreadful Threatnings on th'Unjust;
And tho' they prosper, we in God must trust:
His Sins and Sorrows: Life's a fleeting Shade:
He waits. The Traitor Judas is displaid.
534
The Nations Spoil describ'd in mournful Songs:
But soon Messiah's glorious Loves we find,
And Peace and Conquest down to future Days consign'd.
Death equals all. God will to Judgment come:
David for Pardon sues. Fierce Doeg's doom.
Sheba. The Ziphites, and false Gilonite:
David in Gath—from Saul his hasty Flight.
Ill Counsellors. He prays against his Foes:
Aram and Edom smites—To Exile goes.
His Trust in God: In Desarts he complains.
Curs'd Plots. He blesses Heav'n for kindly Rains.
For Conquest, Praise. God and the People bless'd:
Messiah's Triumphs next in lofty Hymns express'd.
Salvation ask'd. In God he puts his Trust,
Solomon crown'd. Prosper'd awhile th'Unjust.
The Temple fir'd: Th'Assyrians Horns are broke:
The Psalmist groans beneath th'Almighty's Stroke:
God's Wonders told. His Holy Place defil'd;
His Vineyard trampled and his People spoil'd.
The Feast of Trumpets. Earthly Gods advis'd:
Jehaziel's Psalm. The Temple lov'd and priz'd.
Captives restor'd. For Health the Psalmist sues;
Sion describes—and then his Plaint renews.
God leaves his King. From Moses learn to Pray!
The Good are safe.—This for the Sabbath Day!
God Reigns.—Revenge is his. Twice come and sing!
For Clouds and Darkness round Heav'ns awful King.
Victorious Praise. The Lord exalted reigns.
Praise him whose Truth no bound of Time contains!
Kingly Resolves. Th'afflicted God will raise:
And all his Works their Great Creator praise.
What Wonders to ungrateful Israel shown:
God's Providence from kind Afflictions known.
535
Messiah's Footstool, his inveterate Foes.
Two Festal Hymns by the GREAT HALLEL clos'd.
Divine Instructions artfully compos'd.
David in Kedar mourn'd—From Heav'n his Aid:
He pray'd for Peace—and for Salvation pray'd.
Escap'd, he praises God—In him his Trust.
The Sorrows and the Triumph of Just.
The Lord must build. Who fears his Name is bless'd.
The Righteous oft afflicted. Sin confess'd.
The humble Mind. The wandring Ark does rest.
Bless'd Union! Those who God's high Temple guard,
How bless'd! The Service is its own Reward.
The morning Hymn: The festal Anthem sung,
When the full Quire with Hallelujah's rung.
Unlearnt at Babel, where their Harps unstrung:
Not David's thus, who the Creator sings,
To listning ANGELS and to listning Kings:
To God appeals. Unbosoms all his Grief,
And from his Sins and Foes implores Relief.
What makes a Country happy then displays:
The next his own peculiar Psalm of Praise.
With heav'nly Hallelujahs all the rest,
Bless his tremendous Name, whose Name be ever bless'd!
