10 O daughter, hearken, and behold, And do thine ear incline; Likeways forget thy fathers old, And people who were thine: II For he's thy Lord, and fee that thou He loves thee veh❜mently. 12 The daughters fair of foreign lands, With gifts and off'rings in their hands, The daughter there of Tyre fhall be, 1 13 The daughter of the King, behold, qalqo Does all in glory fhine! Her garments of embroider'd gold Were wrought with skill divine. 14 She shall be brought to Chrift her King, Shall unto thee be brought. 15 With gladness and rejoicing, they While all the pow'rs of mufic play They fhall within the palace go, And each poffefs a throne, Whence they fhall no removal know, 16 Instead 16 Inftead of thofe thy fathers dear," Thy love thy children claim, Whom thou fhalt to thy Hufband bear, Those tender darlings thou shalt take, 17 Thy name remember'd, I will cause, PSALM XLVI. THIS Pfalm, which may be confidered as a fequel to the former, fhines forth confpicuoufly triumphant, and, if we may fo fay, exalted to the very pinnacle and perfection of heavenly joy and praise divine! In the fame light, behold and fing its parallels-and fing, O faint! with thy God for ever! How bleft are they, and only they, • He'll guard our steps by night and day! 1 GOD is out Refuge, and our Strength; A very prefent Help in need; He works our freedom at the length, 2 Therefore, 2 Hence, though the folid earth should bound, Although the fea fhould rear its head, 4 Whofe gentle freams our fpirits cheer. Where God Moft High hath his abode. 5 God in the midft of her refides; She never fhall removed be; Her God her Helper ftill abides; But foon remov'd her foes the'll fee. 6 The heathen rag'd, and rais'd a noife; The nations all with wrath were mov'd: Th' Almighty uttered his voice; The earth was melted, and reprov'd., 7 The Lord of Hofts is on our fide, And Jacob's God's our Refuge ftrong: He to a period brings the wars, And calms them into gentle peace; And cries, Be ftill, be hufb'd, to all; I'll be exalted evermore, Among the heathen people high: THE fame as Pfalm ii. with its parallels. See Pfal. lxviii. 24, 25. interpreted, Eph. iv. 8. of Chrift's afcenfion and its confequences. Th' afcenfion of the Lord on high Hath pav'd for us the heav'nly way, J All ye people, clap your hands; To God the Lord with triumph fhout. 2 Meffiah reigns o'er all the lands, Great Lord and King the earth throughout. 3 The people all our King fubdues; The nations throws beneath our feet: 4 For us our heritage he'll chufe; And Jacob's portion fhall be fweet. 5 God is gone up with fhouts and fongs, The Lord, with trumpets founding-high: Sing praise to God; for praife belongs To Chrift our King, from earth and fky: 6 Sing praife, fing praife, adore and bless; For God is King o'er all the earth; 7 With understanding praise express; Sing ye to Chrift with joy and mirth. 9 The princes of the people all, Who on the God of Abra'am call, For all thofe fhields, who do defend THIS Pfalm feems to be only a fecond part of the last; and the meaning of it is equally obvious. The univerfal pow'r and fway Of Jefus Chrift the Lord of Hofts, Let all her children join their voice! Who fills us with eternal joys! GREAT is the Lord, and greatly he O, all ye faints, in one agree, To praife him with your chiefeft skill: Mount Zion, on thy pleasant brow, |
