Boox II.
Psnus 44. 45.
And stretched our hands to a God who was strange,
Would not Gon enquire about that,
For he knows all the secrets of hearts?
Yet for You we are murdered all day,
We are treated like sheep to be slain!
Rouse, ALMIGHIYI For what do You sleep?
Awake! nor cast us olf for ever!
Your face, for how long will You hide,
And forget our allliction and grief?
Rise up, and to us restore ease,
And redeem us, because You are kind.
PSALM 45.
To the Conductor of the Flageolets.

‘ My heart o'ertlows, with pleasant thought;
I tell my doings to the King,
A rapid writer’s pen, my tongue.

' You’re fairer than a child of Adam,
Your graceful lips express it well,
So may GOD bless for ever}
Maumn Baum.
‘ Your sword gird on your thigh,
For courage, fame, and honour;
For Honour, drive your Chariot,
And for the sake of truth,
Seek out and help the Right:
It honours your right hand.
Your darts will Nations pierce,
Beneath you they will fall,
Aim at your foeman’s heart.
Your Throne, Prince, is for ever ;—
Your Kingdom’s StaH, the Right;
You love the right, and hate the wrong,
So Gon, your Gon, anoints
With sweeter oil than all your friends!
From ivory jars, to make you glad.

‘ On you Kings’ daughters wait,
A Queen stands at your right,
In lace of woven gold.
Hear, girl, look and attend ;
Forget your Tribe, and Home.
A King desires your love,
Bow to him, as your Loran,
The wealthy nations come.
THE Pmnsr.
‘ Princess of Glorious Veil,
With Gold Embroidered Robes,
Approach the King with grace;
Come, follow, shepherd girls,
Where she leads on for you.
Advance with joy, and smile,
