Lords not from You ruled us,
But Your NAME only lasts.
Mortals, they could not live,
Tyrants, who could not rise,
When You came to defeat,
And their memory drive away!
‘ LORD, You increased the Nation,
The Nation spreads Your fame,
And to earth’s borders bears.’

‘ Loma, in distress we sought for You,
Pouring entreaties for Your help ;
As when the pregnant comes near birth
She rolls and shrieks in pain,
So were we LORD with You.
As though with child we rolled
But brought forth only wind.
Our hands no victory won ;
The Wor1d’s men did not fall!
THE Loma.
‘ Your dead shall live, your corpses rise;
Awake and cheer who sleep in dust,
The moming’s dew shall drop on you,
But earth cferwhelm th' oppressors}
THE Pnopxmr.
‘ So go, my People, to your homes,
And close your doors behind;
Hide till the storm has passed away ;
For, see, the LORD comes from on High
To bring the mau’s crime on himself,
And tum upon his Land his blood
And no more hide his slain.

27 In the day the LORD comes with His great and sharp sword
And conquers the rolling and wriggling snake,
4 The twisting snake slays, with the snakes of the sea
2 Then sing to the flowering Vineyard a song;
Tan Loan.
‘ I, the Loan, always guard her,
When I visit I water,
I watch her by day and by night]
Vxnayaizo.
I have no wall round me!
Who will make me a hedge?
In war I shall be ruined,
Would any then guard me?
Or strengthen, protect me P
Make me peace, or rest 2*
