Psalm XXXIII.

1

O, In the Lord, your Hope and Trust,

Ye Righteous, still rejoice;
It well becomes the Pure and Just
To lift in Praise their Voice.

2

To Him, with Harps be Praises sent,

Sing with the Psaltery,
And to the Ten-string'd Instrument
Your tuneful Hand apply.

66

3

Sing to the Lord a Song that's new,

With Noise triumphant play;

4

For the Lord's Word is right and true,

And faithful is his Way.

5

He do's in Righteousness delight,

Just Judgments please his Will:
He with his Goodness infinite
Do's all the Nations fill.

6

The Heav'ns at His resistless Word,

And all their Hosts were made;
Pow'r from thy Mouth went forth, O Lord,
And they thy Breath obey'd.

7

In Heaps He gathers by his Hand

The Waters of the Sea;
And the deep Gulphs his high Command
Do's in a Store-house lay.

8

Let all the Tribes of human Race

The Lord their Maker fear,
All Tongues, that spread the Earth's wide Face,
This awful Lord revere.

9

For He, th' Almighty, spake, and See,

'Twas done at his Command:
The spacious World began to be,
And did unshaken stand.

10

The Lord the Counsel undermines,

Which heathen Nations take;
And He the People's proud Designs,
Do's unsuccessful make.

11

The Counsel of the Lord is sure,

And stands for ever fast;
And of his Heart th' Intentions pure
From Age to Age shall last.

67

Part II.

12

Blest Nation, which can in the Lord,

As in their God, rejoice,
The People by his Hand restor'd,
The Portion of his Choice.

13

The Lord looks down from Heav'n, his Eyes

Beholds all Adam's Race:

14

He all the Nations round descries,

From his high dwelling Place.

15

Alike th' Almighty shapes and sways

The Hearts of human Kind;
He well considers all their Ways,
And do's their Actions mind.

16

No King is by a num'rous Host

Sav'd from the threatning Foe;
No Champions, who of Might can boast,
To Strength their Safety owe.

17

The Horse the Warriour can't ensure,

He's a vain Hope in Fight;
Tho' strong and swift, he can't secure
In Battle nor in Flight.

18

God watches those, who Him revere,

And to his Mercy fly;

19

To save their Soul he will be near,

Lest they in Famine dy.

20

Our longing Soul, Lord, waits on Thee,

Thou art our Help and Shield:

21

Now shall our Hearts rejoyce, that we

Our Hopes did on him build.

68

22

O Thou Jehovah ever blest!

Let us thy Mercy see,
As we have still for Peace and Rest
Repos'd our Trust in Thee.
