Psa. 76.
[_]
To the cheef Musitian a Psalme or song for Asaph.
It is a Triumph-song to praise God, for that knowledge
of him, which he hath vouchsafed vnto his Church
typified by Iudah, Ierusalem, & Syon. It glorifieth Christ
also, for his conquests over sinn, Death & the Devill. The
vse is manyfest.
[1]
In
Iurie, God is knowne full well;
His Name's in Isr'el great:
He, in Ierusalem doth dwell,
And, Syon is his seat.
Shaft, sword, & sheild, he battred there;
Yea, there he wonn the Feild;
And, more his powrs, and honors are,
Then spoilers Burroughts, yeald.
2
The strong are foilde; their dream is flowne
Their strength hath not prevaild:
For, at the God of Iacob's frowne,
Both horse & Charret faild.
Thou dreadfull art, & none, oh Lord,
Thine angry looks cann bear;
For, when thy voice from heav'n is heard.
The Earth is dumbe with fear.
3
The meek on earth, when thou to save,
And judge them (Lord) shalt please,
Thou by man's wrath, shalt honour have,
And, his hot rage appease.
To God make vowes; & presents give
All yee that round him are.
For, he doth kings of breath deprive
And makes great princes fear.
