A Prophetical Part of Moses's Song, Deut. 32.

1

Give Ear, O Heavens, I will speak
and let also the Earth,

3

Hear the good Words of my own Mouth,
which now I shall bring forth,

2

My Doctrin like the Rain shall drop,
my Speech distil shall as
The Dew does on the tender Herbs,
and showers on the Grass.

3

Because that I Jehovahs Name
will publish and make known;
I will ascribe greatness to God,
yea, and to him alone.

4

He is the Rock, and Perfect too
his Ways and Judgments be;
A God of Truth, and without Sin,
both Just and Right is he.

3

Because their Rock unto our Rock
is not to be compar'd;
Yea, though our Enemies themselves,
as Judges should be heard:

5

Vengeance is mine, I will repay,
in time their Feet shall slide,
Their dreadful Day it does draw near,
and Woe shall them betide.

6

Because the Lord his Saints shall judg,
and for them he'll Repent,
When none shut up, or lift he sees,
when all their Power's spent.

7

Then sing ye Nations with his Saints,
revenge their Blood will he,
And render Vengeance to his Foes,
but kind to his Saints be.
