II As Zeb and Oreb evil fped, 20 23 30 35 40 So let their princes speed, As Zeba, and Zalmunna bled, So let their princes bleed. * Lev jachdau. 12 For they amidst their pride have said, By right now feize fhall we God's houfes, and will now invade * Their stately palaces. 13 My God, oh make them as a wheel, No quiet let them find, Giddy and restless let them reel Like ftubble from the wind. 45 50 14 As when an aged wood takes fire Which on a fudden frays, The greedy flame runs higher and higher 55 15 So with thy whirlwind them pursue, And with thy tempest chase; 16 † And till they † yield thee honor due, 60 Lord, fill with fhame their face. 17 Afham'd, and troubled let them be, Troubled, and sham'd for ever, Ever confounded, and fo die With shame, and scape it never. 18 Then fhall they know that thou, whofe name Jehovah is alone, Art the most high, and thou the fame O'er all the earth art one. *Neoth Elohim bears both. 65 PSAL.

My foul doth long and almost die My heart and flesh aloud do cry, 3 There ev'n the fparrow freed from wrong Hath found a house of rest; The swallow there, to lay her young Hath built her brooding neft, Ev'n by thy altars, Lord of Hofts, And home they fly from round the coafts 5 Happy, whofe ftrength in thee doth bide, 6 They pass through Baca's thirsty vale, That dry and barren ground, As through a fruitful watery dale Where fprings and fhowers abound. They journey on from strength to strength Till all before our God at length 5. ΤΟ 15. 20 25 In Sion do appear..
