orld in righteousness And make his vengeance known. 3 Then shall the Lord a refuge prove For all the poor opprest, To save the people of his love, And give the weary rest. 4 The men, that know thy name will trust In thy abundant grace; For thou hast ne'er forsook the just, Who humbly seek thy face. 5 Sing praises to the righteous Lord, Who dwells on Zion's hill, Who executes his threatening word, And doth his grace fulfil. Psalm 9:2. 10. Second Part. The wisdom and equity of providence. 1 When the great Judge, supreme and just, Shall once inquire for blood, The humble souls, that mourn in dust, Shall find a faithful God. 2 He from the dreadful gates of death Does his own children raise: In Zion's gates, with cheerful breath, They sing their Father's praise. 3 His foes shall fail with heedless feet Into the pit they made; And sinners perish in the net That their own hands had spread. 4 Thus by thy judgments, mighty God! Are thy deep counsels known; When men of mischief are destroy'd, The snare must be their own. PAUSE. 5 The wicked shall sink down to hell; Thy wrath devour the lands That dare forget thee, or rebel Against thy known commands. 6 Tho' saints to sore distress are brought, And wait and long complain, Their cries shall not be still forgot, Nor shall their hopes be vain. 7 [Rise, great Redeemer, from thy seat, To judge and save the poor; Let nations tremble at thy feet, And man prevail no more. 8 Thy thunder shall affright the proud, And put their hearts to pain, Make them confess that thou art God, And they but feeble men.] Psalm 10. Prayer heard, and saints saved; or, Pride, atheism, and oppression punished.

PAUSE. 5 Why do the men of malice rage, And say with foolish pride, "The God of heaven will ne'er engage To fight on Zion's side?" 6 But thou for ever art our Lord; And pow'rful is thine hand, As when
