PSALM 134.
Had not the Lord in a most signal way,Stood up against our Foes, may Isr'el say;
Had not the God of Jacob set us free,
VVhen held in Fetters of Captivity,
The Torrent of their Fury had o're-run
Our Souls, with ruine and destruction.
But now his glorious Name be ever prais'd,
He to renown our abject State hath rais'd;
136
VVhich nothing, but his Power, could asswage.
Safely at length our Souls escaped are,
Though late entangled, from the Fowlers Snare;
Yet not our Strength, nor Merits do we own
To be the Cause of our Salvation;
It was the Arm of the Almighty Lord,
Who Fought, and Conquer'd, and our Joys restor'd.
