14 O God the proud against me rise
And violent men are met
To seek my life, and in their eyes
No fear of thee have set.
15 But thou Lord art the God most mild
Readiest thy grace to shew,
Slow to be angry, and [art stil'd]
Most mercifull, most true.
16 O turn to me [thy face at length,]
And me have mercy on,
Unto thy servant give thy strength,
And save thy hand-maids Son.
17 Some sign of good to me afford,
And let my foes [then] see
And be asham'd, because then Lord
Do'st help and comfort me.
Psalm LXXXVII
1 Among the holy Mountains [high]
Is his foundation fast,
[There Seated in his Sanctuary,]
[His Temple there is plac't.]
2 Sions [fair] Gates the Lord loves more
Then all the dwellings [faire]
Of Jacobs [Land, though there be store,]
[And all within his care.]
3 City of God, most glorious things
Of thee [abroad] are spoke;
4 I mention Egypt, [where proud Kings]
[Did our forefathers yoke,]
I mention Babel to my friends,
Philistia [full of scorn,]
And Tyre with Ethiops [utmost ends,]
Lo this man there was born:
5 But [twise that praise shall in our ear]
Be said of Sion [last]
This and this man was born in her,
High God shall fix her fast.
