Psal. CXLIV.
Blest be the Lord, my strength, my might,
Who taught my hands to fight:
My rock, my shield, and helper true,
My people to subdue.
Who taught my hands to fight:
My rock, my shield, and helper true,
My people to subdue.
Lord! what is man? or what his race,
Thy notice should him grace?
Who is so vaine, his daies do fade
Like to the passing shade.
Thy notice should him grace?
Who is so vaine, his daies do fade
Like to the passing shade.
O Lord, the arched Heavens bow,
Come downe to earth below.
Touch their proud tops, and then thy stroak
Shall make the mountains smoak.
Come downe to earth below.
Touch their proud tops, and then thy stroak
Shall make the mountains smoak.
276
From Thy full clouds quick lightning cast,
And them by scatt'ring wast;
Let Thy sharp arrowes, 'gainst them shot,
Destruction make their lot.
And them by scatt'ring wast;
Let Thy sharp arrowes, 'gainst them shot,
Destruction make their lot.
Send from above Thine hand, to save
Me from the swelling wave.
From children strange, whose mouth speaks hate,
Whose right hand acts deceit.
Me from the swelling wave.
From children strange, whose mouth speaks hate,
Whose right hand acts deceit.
Then I new Songs will sing to Thee,
Upon the Psalterie:
And on the ten-string'd Instrument
Ditties of praise invent.
Upon the Psalterie:
And on the ten-string'd Instrument
Ditties of praise invent.
For God salvation gives to Kings;
His help to David brings:
From perill of the Sword, and grave,
He doth His servant save.
His help to David brings:
From perill of the Sword, and grave,
He doth His servant save.
Deliver me from strangers hands,
Whose mouth against Thee bands:
Whose right hand falshood doth defend;
Whose deeds in rapine end.
Whose mouth against Thee bands:
Whose right hand falshood doth defend;
Whose deeds in rapine end.
Our Sons like plants then, fresh in growth,
Shall flourish in their youth:
Our daughters like faire columnes be,
Which we in Temples see.
Shall flourish in their youth:
Our daughters like faire columnes be,
Which we in Temples see.
277
Our garners shall be fill'd with store,
Our sheep bring thousands more,
Our Oxen strong; nor shall restraint
Cause in our streets complaint.
Our sheep bring thousands more,
Our Oxen strong; nor shall restraint
Cause in our streets complaint.
Happy that people, and that place,
Which is in such a case:
Yea blessed are, and happy, they,
Who God their Lord obey.
Which is in such a case:
Yea blessed are, and happy, they,
Who God their Lord obey.
