Metrical Psalms 1650

Psalms 79:4-9 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

4. Unto our neighbours a reproachmost base become are we;A scorn and laughingstock to themthat round about us be.

5. How long, Lord, shall thine anger last?wilt thou still keep the same?And shall thy fervent jealousyburn like unto a flame?

6. On heathen pour thy fury forth,that have thee never known,And on those kingdoms which thy namehave never call'd upon.

7. For these are they who Jacob havedevoured cruelly;And they his habitationhave caused waste to lie.

8. Against us mind not former sins;thy tender mercies show;Let them prevent us speedily,for we're brought very low.

9. For thy name's glory help us, Lord,who hast our Saviour been:Deliver us; for thy name's sake,O purge away our sin.
