BOOK VI,
And his happiness always will last ; For the Righteous, light bursts from the dark, For the Gentle, the Kind, and the Good. STANZA 2. The Good Man is gentle, and gives; By justice he measures his acts; S0 that he will never be moved, For the Good will be always in mind. He will not fear the roar of the bad, With his heart fixed in trust on the LGRD; His heart will not doubt its support, Till his wish he can see on his foes. He distributed,—-gave to the poor; His goodness for ever will stand, His horn be exalted in might. The Bad will behold it, and grieve, Will gnash with his teeth and will faint; For the pride of the wicked will fail. PSALM 113. § Slang in ibn Ehzr-liking. Smnza i. Halliluyah! Let the L0m>’s servants hurrah! Hurrah to the NAME of the Loan! The N AME of the Loim should be blessed; From now, and to Ever and Aye From the rise of the Sun to its set, The Name of the Loan should be cheered! Snnza 2. Above all the Heathen, HIGH Loan, His Grandeur is over the skies! Who equals the LORD our GOD Who sits on the Heights in His Rest? Yet cares for the fallen on Earth and in Heaven I Who picks -up the weak from the dust, From dunghills exalting the poor; And sits them with Princes, With the Chiefs of His Race! Who causes the childless at home To become a. glad Mother of children l Halliluyah! PSALM 114. Srimza 1. When Israel came from Mitzet, ]acob’s House from pagan race, To Him was judah sacred, But Israel held His Power. Srimza 2. The Sea beheld and fled! The jordan back retired ! The Mountains leaped like rams, The Hills like sons of sheep! 75 7 I0
