Milton, John

"Psalms I-Viii, Lxxx-Lxxxviii"


7 They journey on from strength to strength
[With joy and gladsom cheer]
[Till] all before [our] God [at length]
In Sion do appear.
8 Lord God of Hoasts hear [now] my praier
O Jacobs 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]
Is better, [and more blest]
Then [in the joyes of Vanity,]
A thousand daies [at best.]
I in the temple of my God
Had rather keep a dore,
Then dwell in Tents, [and rich abode]
With Sin [for evermore.]
11 For God the Lord both Sun and Shield
Gives grace and glory [bright,]
No good from them shall be with-held
Whose waies are just and right.
12 Lord [God] of Hoasts [that raign'st on high,]
That man is [truly] blest
Who [only] on thee doth relie.
And in thee only rest.
Psalm LXXXV.
1 Thy Land to favour graciously
Thou hast not Lord been slack,
Thou hast from [hard] Captivity
Returned Jacob back.
2 Th' iniquity thou didst forgive
[That wrought] thy people woe,
And all their Sin, [that did thee grieve]
Hast hid [where none shall know.
