CXXVa. Such as in God the Lord do trust

1 Such as in God the Lord do trust,
as Sion mount shall firmly stand,
And be removed at no hand:
the Lord will count them right and just,
So that they shall be sure
for ever to endure.

2 As many mountains huge and great
Jerusalem about do close,
So will the Lord do unto those,
who on his Godly will do wait:
Such are to him so dear
they never need to fear.

3 For though the righteous try doth he
by making wicked men his rod,
Lest they through grief forsake their God,
it shall not always their lot be.
Give, Lord to us thy light,
whose hearts are true and right:

4 But as for such as turn aside
By crooked ways which they out-sought,
The Lord will surely bring to nought;
with workers vile they shall abide;
But peace with Israel
for evermore shall dwell.
