PSALM LXXV.
To thee Jeshurun, of all ranks,
In thankful pray'r agree,
—Yea, Lord, we yield the thanks
To mercy, love and Thee.
In thankful pray'r agree,
—Yea, Lord, we yield the thanks
To mercy, love and Thee.
Thy blessed word is also nigh
Each day and every hour,
And that thy works imply
In spirit and in pow'r.
Each day and every hour,
And that thy works imply
In spirit and in pow'r.
What time th'assembly shall attend
On my judicial chair,
I will the truth defend,
Deciding right and fair.
On my judicial chair,
I will the truth defend,
Deciding right and fair.
Earth totters on her lowest base,
And all her tenants shrink;
But Jesus shall replace
Her pillars, ere she sink.
And all her tenants shrink;
But Jesus shall replace
Her pillars, ere she sink.
I said unto the fools, eschew
Your pride and senseless scorn,
And to the godless crew,
No more exalt your horn.
Your pride and senseless scorn,
And to the godless crew,
No more exalt your horn.
No more exalt your horn in vain,
But your ambition check,
Nor for your speeches strain
With such a stiffen'd neck.
But your ambition check,
Nor for your speeches strain
With such a stiffen'd neck.
For tho' promotion plumes your crest,
And fills with pomp your mouth,
'Tis not from east or west,
Nor is it from the south.
And fills with pomp your mouth,
'Tis not from east or west,
Nor is it from the south.
And why the Lord is judge supreme,
And one man he degrades,
And one from want extreme
He raises up and aids.
And one man he degrades,
And one from want extreme
He raises up and aids.
For in his hand the Lord presents
A cup of vinous juice,
Full mixt with red contents,
And pours it out profuse:
A cup of vinous juice,
Full mixt with red contents,
And pours it out profuse:
69
The dregs thereof the men of pride,
From out th'inverted cup
Shall drink as they subside,
And wholly suck them up.
From out th'inverted cup
Shall drink as they subside,
And wholly suck them up.
But I will fashion my discourse
Of Jacob's God to sing,
And evermore inforce
The praise of Zion's king.
Of Jacob's God to sing,
And evermore inforce
The praise of Zion's king.
Recall thy servants, that revolt,
Again to pay their vows,
And righteous men exalt,
And crown their honour'd brows.
Again to pay their vows,
And righteous men exalt,
And crown their honour'd brows.
