PSALM 125.
1
Whoso on God relyes, stands fixt & sure,As Sions holy Mount, which shall endure,
Upon whose sacred Top the Lord declares
He will reside, and hear his Servants Pray'rs.
2
As Salem's safe from storms on ev'ry hand,Fenc'd with those lofty-Hills which round her stand,
So are the Faithful, in th'Almighty's Arms
Impail'd secure from all destructive harms.
3
Yet for a while Oppression may take place,And prosper here, disturbing Isr'el's peace,
But the ungodly shall not long bear sway,
Lest that the Righteous prove as bad as they.
137
4
For God is good, his care is over thoseWho are sincere in heart, who do repose
Their confidence in him, he'l Crown their Love
With all those Joys the Blessed reap above.
5
As for those Souls who basely turn asideFrom all his Laws, and wont his Yoke abide;
Whom none of all his Judgments can forewarn,
In endless-Flames they shall for ever burn.
While in perpet'al peace his Israel,
That Her'tage of his own, shall ever dwell.
