Psalm XLI.

1

He's blest, who pays a due Regard

To Men with Want opprest;
God will his Charity reward,
In Trouble give him Rest.

2

The Lord will keep him in Repose,

Blest he on Earth shall live;
Nor to the Will of envious Foes
Him will he ever give.

3

When languishing this Man shall mourn,

The Lord will raise his Head,
And in his Sickness often turn,
And kindly make his Bed.

4

Thy Mercy, Lord, to me express,

I said, and heal my Soul,
With Sin I'm wounded I confess,
In pity make me whole.

89

5

My Foes have Evil of me said,

In Malice they exclaim,
When shall we hear that he is dead?
When perish shall his Name?

6

And if he comes to visit me,

He Falsehood do's devise,
His Heart conceives Iniquity,
When gone, he spreads his Lyes.

Part II.

7

All they, that bear me groundless Hate,

In Whispers me defame,
And when in secret Counsels sate
Against me Mischief frame.

8

An ill Disease cleaves to him fast,

Say they, who me despise,
And now he lies, down justly cast,
Nor ever more shall rise.

9

My bosom Friend, in whom, misled,

I did my Trust repose,
Against me, tho' he eat my Bread,
With brutal Malice rose.

10

But Thou, O gracious Lord, to me

Be merciful, I pray,
And raise me up to that Degree,
That I may them repay.

11

Thy Favour, Lord, I know by this,

I can't in question call,
Because my Foes the Triumph miss,
They hop'd for in my Fall.

90

12

And me in my Integrity,

Thou do'st, O Lord, defend;
Before thy Face thou settest me
To Days that never end.

13

Be praise to Israel's God addrest,

By all the Sons of Men;
Let him from Age to Age be blest,
Say all, Amen, Amen.
