Psalm CV.
O bless the Lord, call on his Name,
His Deeds in Publick crown;
In Songs of Praise his Works proclaim,
And speak of his Renown.
O Glory in his boundless Might,
Be his great Name ador'd;
And let your Heart feel great Delight,
All ye that seek the Lord.
His Deeds in Publick crown;
In Songs of Praise his Works proclaim,
And speak of his Renown.
O Glory in his boundless Might,
Be his great Name ador'd;
And let your Heart feel great Delight,
All ye that seek the Lord.
Seek in his holy Place the Lord,
Still be his Presence sought;
The Judgments of his Mouth record,
And Wonders by Him wrought.
O, ye his Servants, Abram's Line,
Ye Chosen Jacob's Race,
He is our God, his Judgments shine
Thro' all the Earth's wide Face.
Still be his Presence sought;
The Judgments of his Mouth record,
And Wonders by Him wrought.
233
Ye Chosen Jacob's Race,
He is our God, his Judgments shine
Thro' all the Earth's wide Face.
His Covenant remember'd stands
In Truth for ever fast;
The Promise fix'd by his Commands
From Age to Age shall last.
His Oath renew'd did Abram's Grant
To Isaac's House secure;
And was a Law and Covenant
To Israel ever sure.
In Truth for ever fast;
The Promise fix'd by his Commands
From Age to Age shall last.
His Oath renew'd did Abram's Grant
To Isaac's House secure;
And was a Law and Covenant
To Israel ever sure.
Canaan, said He, they shall subdue,
This Lot they shall command,
When they in Number were but few,
And Strangers in the Land.
When they thro' various Nations strong
From Land to Land remov'd,
He suffer'd none to do them wrong,
But for them Kings reprov'd.
This Lot they shall command,
When they in Number were but few,
And Strangers in the Land.
When they thro' various Nations strong
From Land to Land remov'd,
He suffer'd none to do them wrong,
But for them Kings reprov'd.
Part II.
Besides, a Famine at his Call,
Was o'er the Kingdom spread:
His Curse did on their Harvests fall,
And broke their Staff of Bread.
See, He before them Joseph sent,
A Slave thro' Envy made;
Whose Feet with Fetters they torment,
He was in Irons laid.
Was o'er the Kingdom spread:
His Curse did on their Harvests fall,
And broke their Staff of Bread.
234
A Slave thro' Envy made;
Whose Feet with Fetters they torment,
He was in Irons laid.
Till in due Time the sacred Word
Of blest Jehovah came,
The Revelation of the Lord,
That try'd and clear'd his Fame.
The King, who did o'er Egypt reign,
His royal Order gave,
They loos'd th' imprison'd Hebrew's Chain,
And freed the guiltless Slave.
Of blest Jehovah came,
The Revelation of the Lord,
That try'd and clear'd his Fame.
The King, who did o'er Egypt reign,
His royal Order gave,
They loos'd th' imprison'd Hebrew's Chain,
And freed the guiltless Slave.
His House He made him to inspect,
And o'er his Realm preside,
Princes at Pleasure to correct,
And Senators to guide.
Then Jacob left his native Soil,
And down to Egypt came,
And Israel to relieve his Toil,
Dwelt in the Land of Ham.
And o'er his Realm preside,
Princes at Pleasure to correct,
And Senators to guide.
Then Jacob left his native Soil,
And down to Egypt came,
And Israel to relieve his Toil,
Dwelt in the Land of Ham.
235
Part III.
He his just Servant Moses sent,
And Aaron, whom He chose;
And Pow'r to work great Wonders lent,
In Egypt mid'st their Foes.
He bade his Ministers, the Skies
With thickest Darkness spread,
That Night might Egypt's Land surprize,
And they his Word obey'd.
And Aaron, whom He chose;
And Pow'r to work great Wonders lent,
In Egypt mid'st their Foes.
He bade his Ministers, the Skies
With thickest Darkness spread,
That Night might Egypt's Land surprize,
And they his Word obey'd.
He turn'd their Waters into Blood,
Which gasping Fishes kill'd:
Of croaking Frogs a plenteous Brood
Their Kings high Chambers fill'd.
He spoke, behold, of various Flies
Up sprung devou'ring Hosts;
And Lice, that thick as Dust did rise,
Afflicted all their Coasts.
Which gasping Fishes kill'd:
Of croaking Frogs a plenteous Brood
Their Kings high Chambers fill'd.
He spoke, behold, of various Flies
Up sprung devou'ring Hosts;
And Lice, that thick as Dust did rise,
Afflicted all their Coasts.
For Rain He gave them Storms of Hail,
Fire on their Soil He brought;
Their Vines and Fig-trees He assail'd,
Their Groves and Gardens smote.
He spoke, and at his high Command,
The Locusts did appear;
And Caterpillars o'er the Land
March'd with an endless Reer.
Fire on their Soil He brought;
Their Vines and Fig-trees He assail'd,
Their Groves and Gardens smote.
He spoke, and at his high Command,
The Locusts did appear;
And Caterpillars o'er the Land
March'd with an endless Reer.
Part IV.
He brought them from the cruel Coast,
With Gold and Silver crown'd,
Nor was in all their num'rous Host,
One Feeble Person found.
When they departed from the Place,
It did all Egypt please;
For a great Dread of Jacob's Race,
Did Pharoah's Kingdom seize.
With Gold and Silver crown'd,
Nor was in all their num'rous Host,
One Feeble Person found.
When they departed from the Place,
It did all Egypt please;
For a great Dread of Jacob's Race,
Did Pharoah's Kingdom seize.
He spread his Cloud, a shelt'ring Skreen;
Against excessive Day;
And that their Passage might be seen,
Did Fire by Night display.
The People ask'd, and down He show'r'd
Sweet Quails, on which they fed;
And from his airy Store-house pour'd,
To feast them, heav'nly Bread.
Against excessive Day;
And that their Passage might be seen,
Did Fire by Night display.
The People ask'd, and down He show'r'd
Sweet Quails, on which they fed;
And from his airy Store-house pour'd,
To feast them, heav'nly Bread.
From the cleft Rock, at his Command,
Abundant Waters gush'd,
That wash'd dry Plains, and o'er the Land,
Like swelling Rivers rush'd.
He on his holy Promise thought
To Abram and his Seed,
And forth with Joy his chosen brought,
And his glad People freed.
Abundant Waters gush'd,
That wash'd dry Plains, and o'er the Land,
Like swelling Rivers rush'd.
He on his holy Promise thought
To Abram and his Seed,
And forth with Joy his chosen brought,
And his glad People freed.
