11. For God the Lord, both sun and shield, Gives grace and glory bright; No good from them shall be witheld 12. Lord God of Hosts, that reign'st on high; That man is truly blest, Who only on thee doth rely, And in thee only rest. PSALM LXXXV. 1. THY land to favour graciously 2. The iniquity thou didst forgive 3. Thine anger all thou hadst remov❜d, And calmly didst return From thy fierce wrath which we had prov'd Far worse than fire to burn. 4. God of our saving health and peace, 5. Wilt thou be angry without end, For ever angry thus? Wilt thou thy frowning ire extend From age to age on us? 6. Wilt thou not turn and hear our voice, And us again revive, That so thy people may rejoice By thee preserv'd alive? 7. Cause us to see thy goodness, Lord, To us thy mercy shew; Thy saving health to us afford, And life in us renew. 8. And now, what God the Lord will speak, I will go straight and hear, For to his people he speaks peace, And to his saints full dear, To his dear saints he will speak peace; But let them never more Return to folly, but surcease 9. Surely, to such as do him fear Salvation is at hand; And glory shall ere long appear 10. Mercy and Truth, that long were miss'd Now joyfully are met; Sweet Peace and Righteousness have kiss'd, And hand in hand are set. 11. Truth from the earth, like to a flower, Shall bud and blossom then; And Justice, from her heavenly bower, 12. The Lord will also then bestow Our land shall forth in plenty throw 13. Before him Righteousness shall go; Then will he come, and not be slow, PSALM LXXXVI. 1. THY gracious ear, O Lord, incline, O hear me, I thee pray; For I am poor, and almost pine 2. Preserve my soul; for I have trod 3. Pity me, Lord, for daily thee I call; 4. O make rejoice Thy servant's soul; for Lord, to thee I lift my soul and voice. 5. For thou art good, thou, Lord, are prone To pardon, thou to all Art full of mercy, thou alone To them that on thee call. |
