__ Or on prospering set not your heart.

SrA¤zA L GREAT Gon, You are my Gov, At dawn I seek for You, My soul and Hash long for You, On this land, dry, and weary, Where there is not a stream I To gaze upon Your goodness, To see Your glorious might; For Your gift is more than life, And my lips declare You blest. So while that I can thank You, I lift hands to Your house; For as with milk and honey, You have maintained my life, My lips and mouth will praise As I think on You in bed, While Irwatch for You I sigh, For You are still my comfort. S’rANzA 2. When I sang in Your canopy’s shade, My soul followed closely to You, Sonow 1etYour right hand support Butthose who in rage hunt my life, Sink down to the depths of the Earth; Or on the Sword’s point let them run, Let them be as a gift tothe wolves. Suuza 3. Cuoiws nv -DAv1n's MEN. Let our Leader be glad in his Gon, All acknowledging Him, will succeed, For He stops every false·speaking mouth. PSALM 64. To his Bandmaster. A ¥sulm ln; Qairih. STANZA I. Listen, Gon, to the sound of my plaint, Guard my life from the rage of my foes; Hide mefrom the plots of the bad, From the mob, who would do me a wrong ;. Whose teeth are as sharp as a sword, Whoseitongue shoots, like darts, bitter words, Which they cast from their dens on the good! They encourage themselves in vile things, And lay down their well—contrived traps, Who can see ?’ They seek mischief with diligent search, And dive in manfs breast and his heart. 710
