The Psalms of David ‎#LIII

LIII. Victory and Deliverance from Persecution

1 Are all the foes of Sion fools,
Who thus devour her saints?
Do they not know her saviour rules,
And pities her complaints?

2 They shall be seiz'd with sad surprise;
For God's revenging arm
Scatters the bones of them that rise,
To do his children harm.

3 In vain the sons of satan boast
Of armies in array;
When God has first despis'd their host,
They fall an easy prey.

4 O for a word from Sion's King,
Her captives to restore!
Jacob with all his tribes shall sing,
And Judah weep no more.
