The Psalmes of David, from the New Translation of the Bible Turned into Meter ::

Give (Lord) thy judgments to the King,
And from his Son let Justice spring.
So shall the right to all extend,
And equity the poor defend.
The mountains then shall bring forth peace
The hils by righteousnesse encrease.
He shall the poor and needy save,
But break oppressors in the grave.

All generations shall Thee feare,
So long as Sun, and Moon appeare.

129

He shall, like raine on grasse new mow'n,
Or showres that water earth, come downe.
The just shall flourish in His daies;
And Peace abound, whilst light displayes.
From Sea to Sea His Throne shall reach,
And from the flood to earths end stretch.

They, who in desarts dwell, shall bow;
His foes, as dust His feet below.
Tarshish, the Isles, with Sheba's King,
And Seba shall their presents bring.
All Kings before Him shall fall downe,
And every Nation serve His crowne.
The cries of helples He will heed,
And save the soules of such as need.

He shall from violence redeem,
And pretious their blood esteem.
Sheba shall Gold for Tribute pay;
Men praise Him still, and for Him pray.
The smallest handfull then of corne,
Upon the tops of Mountaines borne,
Like Lebanon full fruits shall powre;
The people flourish like the flow'r.

His Name endureth, whil'st the Sun
About the world his course doth run.
Blessings through Him descend on all;
And Nations shall Him Blessed call.

130

Blessed be God, whose every act
His Servants wonder doth attract.
Blest be His Name: Let Earth, and men
Be with His glory fill'd: Amen.
