[Haters of God, who still blaspheme]

By this deed thou hast given great occasion, &c. —xii. 14.

Haters of God, who still blaspheme
His glorious name for David's fall,
As ye have sinn'd, repent like him,
Or judgment shall o'erwhelm you all:
From David's fall occasion take
For mercy in faint hope to cry,
Or deeper plunging in the lake,
And doubly damn'd, for ever die!
