Milton, John

"Psalms I-Viii, Lxxx-Lxxxviii"


10 Mercy and Truth [that long were miss'd]
Now [joyfully] are met
[Sweet] Peace and Righteousness have kiss'd
[And hand in hand are set.]
11 Truth from the earth [like to a flowr]
Shall bud and blossom [then,]
And Justice from her heavenly bowr
Look down [on mortal men.]
12 The Lord will also then bestow
Whatever thing is good
Our Land shall forth in plenty throw
Her fruits [to be our food.]
13 Before him Righteousness shall go
[His Royal Harbinger,]
Then will he come, and not be slow
His footsteps cannot err.
Psalm LXXXVI.
1 Thy [Gracious] ear, O Lord, encline,
O hear me [I thee pray,]
For I am poor, and almost pine
With need, [and sad decay.]
2 Preserve my soul, for I have trod
Thy waies, and love the just,
Save thou thy servant O my God
Who [still] in thee doth trust.
3 Pitty me Lord for daily the
I call; 4 O make rejoyce
Thy Servants Soul; for Lord to the
I lift my soul [and voice,]
5 For thou art good, thou Lord art prone
To pardon, thou to all
Art full of mercy, thou [alone]
To them that on thee call.
