PSALM CX. The Way, and End of the righteous, and wicked. Like fome fair tree, which, fed by streams, With timely fruit does bend; He still fhall flourish, and fuccefs All his designs attend. IV. Ungodly men, and their attempts, ས. Their guilt shall strike the wicked dumb Before their judge's face: No formal hypocrite shall then VI. For GOD approves the just man's ways; But finners, and the paths they tread, Shall both in ruin end. PSALM CXI. Love to Enemies from the Example of Chrift. OD of Go Common Metre. I. my mercies and my praife, Thy glory is my fong; Tho'finners fpeak against thy grace With a blafpheming tongue. II. When in the form of mortal man III. Their mis'ries his compaffion, move, Their peace he ftill purfu'd; They render hatred for his love, And evil for his good. IV. Their malice rag'd without a caufe, Yet, with his dying breath, He pray'd for murd'rers on his cross, And bleft his foes in death. V. LORD, fhall thy bright example fhine Give me a foul a-kin to thine, To love my enemies. VI. The LORD fhall on my fide engage, LEST is the man who fears the LORD, Band walks with pleafure in his ways, Who trembles at his holy word, II. A gen'rous pity warms his heart; III. Nor is that loft which he bestows His hand a future harvest fows, His bounty fhall himself survive, IV. When times with difmal face appear, Above the gloom he'll lift his head : And GOD approves and crowns his hope. V. Some friendly beams of cheering light, T Proper Tune. I. HAT man is bleft who ftands in awe Of GOD, and loves his facred law; And with fucceffive honours crown'd. II. His lib'ral favours he extends, To fome he gives, to others lends : A gen'rous pity fills his mind: He faves by prudence in affairs, III. His hands, while they his alms beftow'd, The sweet remembrance of the just, IV. Befet with threatning dangers round, His confcience holds his courage up: H APPY is he who fears the LORD, Who lends the poor without reward, II.. As pity dwells within his breast To all the fons of need; |
