Thy glorious deeds I will unfold,
Thy faints fhall feel my joy:
My joy is more than can be told;
To feel is to enjoy.

2 I'll fing the glory of thy name,
Triumphing in my fong,

While heav'n and earth adopt my theme,
And fing with me along.

3 My fees fhall hear, and ftand aghaft;
My voice fhall them confound:
Their pride and infolence are past,
And funk beneath the ground.

4. For thou, Jehovah, haft my cause
And righteoufness fuftain'd;
As I've maintain'd thy holy laws,
And in thy love remain'd.
Thou fit'ft on thy eternal throne,
Difpenfing equity;

5

Thou haft the nations all undone

Who wrought iniquity.

O'erthrown by thee, th' ungodly one
Shall perish utterly,

His very name t'oblivion gone,
Destroy'd eternally.

6 Thy counfels always have prevail'd,
Supported by thy pow'r;

Full many a city, therefore, wail'd
Her laft deftructive hour;

Becaufe, while war was on the way,
Like fifter Sodom bafe,

She fcorn'd, fhe knew not, in her day
The ways of peace and praife.-

In defolation let them lie,

Who thus forfake the Lord,

And perish, name and memory,
Who fpurn thy precious word!

7 For thou, Jehovah, haft prepar'd
Thy throne for judgment pure;
Thy judgment foon fhall be declar'd,
Which thall, like thee, endure.
& The Lord fhall judge the people all
According to his word;

The perverfe ones fhall early fall
By that two-edged fword.

9 But they who, poor and fore diftrefs'd,
Present their humble pray'r,
Shall fee their proud oppreffors prefs'd
With heavy dark despair.
10 Who know thee, O Jehovah, they
Shall place their hope in thee;
In humble confidence they pray,
Nor fhall afhamed be.

Because thou haft thy promise pledg'd,,
They build upon thy name;
They hold thy faithfulness engag'd,
And thou wilt hold the fame.
11 Let hallelujahs round thee rise,
And round mount Zion ring;
Thy glory fills the earth and fkies::
Let all the people fing.

12 for when the Lord required blood
For blood of guilty men,
I boldly for the inners flood,
And was remember'd then:
I lifted up my voice, and cry'da
My Lord, remember me;
Behold thy juftice fatisfy'd,
My blood doth cry to thee.

13 Deliver me from thofe hell-hounds,.
Who riot on my pain;

And from the dark and direful bounds
Of death redeem again;

C 3

14 That

14 That I may all thy praises fing,

My tongue thy glory tell,

While Zion's daughters round the ring
Support the chorus well.

I'll dance before the Lord of Hofts,
In his falvation high:
My foul in thy falvation boafts;
;;
And fo fhall earth and sky.

15 The nations, joining all in one,
Confpir'd against my life;

But they confpir'd against their own,
And perifh'd in the ftrife:

They digg'd a pit, they digg'd it deep,
A trap they did prepare;

In their own pit themfelves now weep
And mourn in their own fnare.

16 Through Me, Jehovah fhall be known
To all the fons of men,

When death and hell are overthrown,
And I'm return'd again.

Jehovah's judgment fhall take place,
The juft fhall welcome me;
But, for their fin, the guilty race
Shall from my prefence flee.
17 I'll turn the finners into hell,
Ev'n thofe who know not God:-
Against me all who dare rebel

Shall thus be under·trod.—

18 Because this prefent mean disguise,
Which hides my glory now,
Shall foon evanish from their eyes,
My glory brought to view :

Though, poor and needy for a while,
I wait before the Lord,

My faints with me fhall quickly fmile,
When I fhall be reftor'd.-

19 Arife,

19 Arife, arise, O Lord, prevail
Against my bitter foes;
Nor let thy fervant longer wail
Beneath their cruel blows.

20 Exert thy pow'r, exalt thy Son,
Affright the nations all;

That they may know themselves undone,
Unless they humbly fall,

And breathe fubmiffion in the duft,
Acknowledging their Lord,
Meffiah, holy, high, and juft,
Who refts upon thy word:
And on thy word, along with me,.
Thy faints fhall reft them all,
That Antichrift o'erthrown fhall be;
But Chriftians never fhall.'

PSALM. X.

CONCERNING this Pfalm, nothing more needs. be faid, but that it is evidently a continuation of the laft; with this further evidence of its meaning, that it begins in terms precifely parallel with the xxiid Pfalm, and iffues, like it, in the perfect victory, and eternal reign, of the Meffiah with his faints, contrafted with the final and fearful overthrow of all the powers of antichristian darkness; which fhall be completely accomplished only at the refurrection of the juft, and the restoration of all things, when death and hell fhall be cast into the lake which burneth with fire and brimftone, and. the mediatorial kingdom delivered up to the Fa-ther, that God may be all in all.

Meffiah, fuff'ring for a while,
And fore befet with woes,

Ropels the pow, the pride, the guile,.
Of all his Spiteful foes;

But,

I

But, raifed, by the Lord, on high,
His King for evermore,
Gives all his friends, eternally,

Aloft with him to foar.

HOW

TOW long, Jehovah, wilt thou ftay
Away from helping me?

In this my fated troublous day,

How long I ery to thee?

How long, abfconding from my wo,
And deaf unto my groans,
Wilt thou permit my tears to flow;
My foul to wafte in moans?

If thou to fave my foul art flow,
They who my foul pursue,
Are not fo flow to make me know
The worst their rage can do.

2 Their fwelling pride is hard to bear,
Who thus againft me fwell,

3

And fill my trembling heart with fear ::
Their pride, my God, repel. *

Let them who would my foul furprise.
Be caught in their own toil;
The plots which they for me devife,
Upon themselves recoil.

The impious fon of fraud and guile

Applauds himself and fmiles, While, brooding o'er his projects vile

And hatching flier wiles,

He glories in his heart's defire,
Detefting God the Lord;
But God the Lord's avenging ire

Hath doom'd him to the fword.

4 Through pride' of heart there is no room
For God in him at all;

Nor will he pray to change his doom,
Till vengeance on him fall.

He
