Priljubljene svetopisemske vrstice iz Psalms of David 11

Deli

The righteous Lord will righteous deeds With signal favour grace; And to the upright man disclose The brightness of his face.

The Lord hath both a temple here, And righteous throne above; Whence he surveys the sons of men, And how their counsels move.

If God the righteous, whom he loves, For trial does correct; What must the sons of violence, Whom he abhors, expect?

When once the firm assurance fails Which publick faith imparts, ’Tis time for innocence to fly From such deceitful arts.

SINCE I have plac’d my trust in God, A refuge always nigh, Why should I, like a tim’rous bird, To distant mountains fly?
