PSALM

ALL these things happened unto them for 'enfamples (or types) to us and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.' f Cor. x. 1. See Pfal. xliv. &c.

I

• By Babel's ftreams they fat, and wept ;'
But ftill their heart Ferus'lem kept:
And fo, till time fhall be no more,
On earth the fons of God complore!

BY

Y Babel-ftreams we fat, we mourn'd, While all our thoughts on Zion turn'd 2 Our harps befide us, allunftrung, Upon the drooping willows hung. 3 Ev'n there, our fpiteful jeering foe,. Infulting o'er our grief and WO, Said tauntingly, Cheer up, and fing Some fong of yours to Zion's King;' Our spoilers call'd for mirth, and they Who led us captive, bade us play!In this ftrange land how shall we fing The fongs of Chrift, our Lord and King, To give those strangers joy and mirth, Who give to all our forrows birth, And grievously augment our thrall By cruel mock'ries at our fall?

5 But if, Jerus'lem, I forget,
On thee alone my heart to fet,
Let my right-hand forget her skill,
And play no more on Zion-hill!
If I do not remember thee,
Then let my tongue be lost to me,
And, ufelefs, cleave to my mouth's roof:
Nay, death itself be my reproof-

If I prefer not far above

My chiefeft joy, my life, my love
Jerufalem, for evermore,

Where still my heart doth God adore!
7 Remember Edom's curfed race;
O Lord, remember, in thy grace,
How Edom, in Jerus'lem's day,
With rankling wrath, did roar and say—
Razeraze it to the very rock!
Let not a flone efcape the fhock,
Till Zion, wholly overthrown,

་་་

Shall, name and place, no more be known!' 8 O daughter, thou, of Babylon, Devoted to thy doom anon! How happy, happy thall he be, Thy deeds to us who turns on thee!

9

He shall receive a noble prize,at
Who takerh up, before thine eyes,
Thy tender little darling ones,
And dafheth them against the ftones:
Thus perifh all the foes of God
And Zion, all the world abroad!
Thus Babylon deftroy'd fhall be,
A type, O Antichrift, of thee:

Thou, Zion, by thy Lord redeem'd,
From all thy woes at length exeem'd,
Shalt be an everlafting fign"
Of glory great, and love divine:
With glory great, and majefty,
O Jefus, come thou from on high;
That Zion's wounds may all be heal❜d,
And all her fons with thee reveal'd.
