Psalm LII. Common Metre. The disappointment of the wicked.
1
Why should the mighty make their boast,And heavenly grace despise?
In their own arm they put their trust,
And fill their mouth with lies.
2
But God in vengeance shall destroy,And drive them from his face;
No more shall they his church annoy,
Nor find on earth a place.
3
But like a cultur'd olive grove,Dress'd in immortal green,
Thy children, blooming in thy love,
Amid thy courts are seen.
4
On thine eternal grace, O Lord.Thy saints shall rest secure,
And all, who trust thy holy word,
Shall find salvation sure.
