But they, his people, should remain ; 16 And he would feed them from the shock PSALM LXXXII I GOD in the 1 great 1 assembly stands Among the gods 2 on both his hands 2 How long will ye pervert the right 4 3 Regard the weak and fatherless; 5 4 Defend the poor and desolate, 5 They know not, nor will understand; The earth's foundations all are moved, 6 I said that ye were gods, yea all 7 The sons of God Most High; But ye shall die like men, and fall 8 Rise, God; judge thou the earth in might; For thou art he who shalt by right The nations all possess. 1 Bagnadath el. 2 Bekerev. • Shiphtudal. ΤΟ 20 PSALM LXXXIII I BE not thou silent now at length; 1 2 For lo! thy furious foes now 1 swell, And they that hate thee, proud and fell, 3 Against thy people they 2 contrive 4 Come, let us cut them off," say they, Till they no nation be; That Israel's name for ever may Be lost in memory." 5 For they consult with all their might, And all as one in mind Themselves against thee they unite, And in firm union bind. 6 The tents of Edom, and the brood Moab, with them of Hagar's blood, 7 Gebal and Ammon there conspire, The Philistines, and they of Tyre, Whose bounds the sea doth check. 8 With them great Ashur also bands, And doth confirm the knot; All these have lent their armed hands To aid the sons of Lot. 9 Do to them as to Midian bold, Jehemajun. • Sod.

ΙΟ 20 30 Thou didst to Jabin's host, 10 At Endor quite cut off, and rolled II As Zeb and Oreb evil sped, 12 For they amidst their pride have said, God's houses, and will now invade 13 My God, oh make them as a wheel; Giddy and restless let them reel, Like stubble from the wind. 14 As, when an aged wood takes fire The greedy flame runs higher and higher, 15 So with thy whirlwind them pursue, 16 And till they yield thee honour due, Lord, fill with shame their face. 17 Ashamed and troubled let them be, Troubled and shamed for ever. Ever confounded, and so die With shame, and scape it never. 18 Then shall they know that thou, whose name Art the Most High, and thou the same 1 Neoth Elohim bears both. 40 50 бо TO PSALM LXXXIV I How lovely are thy dwellings fair! 3 There even the sparrow, freed from wrong, The swallow there, to lay her young, Hath built her brooding nest; And home they fly from round the coasts 4 Happy who in thy house reside, 5 Happy whose strength in thee doth bide, And in their hearts thy ways! 6 They pass through Baca's thirsty vale, That dry and barren ground, As through a fruitful watery dale Where springs and showers abound. 7 They journey on from strength to strength With joy and gladsome cheer, Till all before our God at length In Sion do appear. 8 Lord God of Hosts, hear now my prayeɩ, O Jacob's God, give ear: 9 Thou, God, our shield, look on the face Of thy anointed dear. 10 For one day in thy courts to be Than in the joys of vanity 330 20 Than dwell in tents and rich abode With sin for evermore.
