He is the God from whom alone
salvation we obtain,
He is the God by whom we 'scape
all dangers, death, and pain:
And he shall wound the head of all
his enemies, also
The hairy scalp of such as on
in wickedness still go.
From Basan will I bring, said he,
my people and my sheep,
And all my own, as I have done,
from dangers of the deep;
And make them dip their feet in blood
of those that hate my Name;
The tongues of dogs they shall be red
with licking of the same.
Thy goings they have seen, O God,
unto their own disgrace,
How thou, my God and King, dost go
within thy holy place:
The singers go before with joy,
the minstrels make no stay,
And in the midst the damsels do
with timbrels sweetly play.
Now in the congregations thou,
O Israel, praise the Lord,
And Jacob's whole posterity,
give thanks with one accord:
The chief was little Benjamin,
but Judah made their host,
With Zebulon and Nephthalim,
who dwelt about their coast,
Thy God hath sent forth strength for thee,
O God, make firm and sure
The thing that thou bast wrought in us
for ever to endure:
Then in thy temple gifts will we
offer to thee, O Lord,
And in thy own Jerusalem
praise thee with one accord.
