PSALM III.
What Numbers, Lord! increase the Swarms
Which vex me with their Rage?
What Numbers in rebellious Arms
Against my Peace engage?
How many of my Soul have said,
Nor him his Deity can aid?
Which vex me with their Rage?
What Numbers in rebellious Arms
Against my Peace engage?
How many of my Soul have said,
Nor him his Deity can aid?
'Tis thou art my Protector Lord!
The Subject of my Praise:
'Tis thou that dost thy Help afford,
My Head aloft to raise.
To God I my Complaint preferr'd,
And from his Holy Hill he heard.
The Subject of my Praise:
'Tis thou that dost thy Help afford,
My Head aloft to raise.
To God I my Complaint preferr'd,
And from his Holy Hill he heard.
Upon my Couch I lay'd me down,
Securely to repose:
Supported by the Lord alone;
Again from Sleep I rose.
No Terror shall my Heart confound,
Not tho' ten thousand hem me round.
Securely to repose:
Supported by the Lord alone;
Again from Sleep I rose.
No Terror shall my Heart confound,
Not tho' ten thousand hem me round.
Rouze thee, O Lord! assert my Cause,
O God in my Defence:
Thou of my Foes hast smote the Jaws
And dash'd their Teeth from thence.
Salvation does to thee belong;
'Tis thine to bless thy pious Throng.
O God in my Defence:
Thou of my Foes hast smote the Jaws
And dash'd their Teeth from thence.
Salvation does to thee belong;
'Tis thine to bless thy pious Throng.
