9 Throughout the land of thy abode

No alien God fhall be,

Nor shalt thou to a foreign God

In honour bend thy knee.

10 I am the Lord thy God which brought Thee out of Egypt land;

40

12 Then did I leave them to their will, And to their wandering mind;

50

14 Then would I foon bring down their foes,

That now fo proudly rise,

And turn my hand against all thofe

That are their enemies.

15 Who hate the Lord fhould then be fain

To bow to him and bend,

But they, his people, fhould remain,

Their time fhould have no end.

60

16 And he would feed them from the fhock
With flower of fineft wheat,

And fatisfy them from the rock
With honey for their meat.

E not thou filent now at length, O God, hold not thy peace; Sit thou not still, O God of ftrength, We cry, and do not cease.

And they that hate thee, proud and fell,
Exalt their heads full high.

And all as one in mind

Themselves against thee they unite,

And in firm union bind.

Of scornful Ishmael,

Moab, with them of Hagar's blood,
That in the defert dwell;

And hateful Amalec,

The Philistins, and they of Tyre,
Whofe bounds the fea doth check.

And doth confirm the knot:

All these have lent their armed bands

To aid the fons of Lot.

Like ftubble from the wind.
