PSALM 139. Third Part. (L. M.) Sincerity professed, and Grace tried; or, the Heart-searching God.

I

My God, what inward grief I feel
When impious men transgress thy will!
I mourn to hear their lips profane
Take thy tremendous name in vain.

II

Does not my soul detest and hate
The sons of malice and deceit?
Those that oppose thy laws and thee
I count them enemies to me.

III

Lord, search my soul, try every thought;
Though my own heart accuse me not
Of walking in a false disguise,
I beg the trial of thine eyes.

IV

Doth secret mischief lurk within?
Do I indulge some unknown sin?
O turn my feet whene'er I stray,
And lead me in thy perfect way.

In this noble psalm I have not refused the aid of my predecessors, chiefly Mr. Tate. In some places where I have borrowed, I hope I have improved the verse; and in others, my own design constrained me to leave out the words of a more poetic sound, such as infernal plains, morning's wings, western main, sable wings of night, shapeless embryo, maze of life, &c. yet I have endeavoured to maintain the spirit of the Psalmist in plainer language.

The epiphonema or the burden of the song, that I have inserted three times in the first part, was not introduced by any means to add beauty to the Poem, but merely to reduce it to convenient lengths for singing, which has too often confined the Ode, and debased it.
