PSALMS.

4 But sinners find their counsels crost; As chaff before the tempest flies, So shall their hopes be blown and lost, When the last trumpet shakes the skies. 5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand

In judgment with the pious race; The dreadful Judge with stern command Divides him to a different place.

6" Straight is the way my saints have trod, " I blest the path and drew it plain; " But you would choose the crooked road, " And down it leads to endless pain."

PSALM 2. S. M.

Translated according to the divine pattern, Acts iv. 24,& c.

Christ dying, rising, interceding, and reigning.

6

AKER

[ Mof heaven, and earth, and seas, Thy providence confirms thy word, And answers thy decrees.

3 Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews, with one accord, Bend all their counsels to destroy Th' anointed of the Lord?

The things so long foretold By David, are fulfill'd, When Jews and Gentiles join to slay Jesus, thine holy child.]

Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite, Against his Christ they join.

5

The Lord derides their rage, And will support his throne; He that hath rais'd him from the dead Hath own'd him for his Son.

PAUSE.

Now he's ascended high, And asks to rule the earth; The merit of his blood he pleads, And pleads his heav'nly birth. B2
