Fifth PART

Fierce Strifes, and Factions, thou hast laid; And made the Rebels own my Sway; O'er neighb'ring Heathen plac'd me Head, And Realms unknown shall me obey. Soon as they hear, they'l Homage pay: Strangers submiss shall prostrately. They that resist shall melt away; And frighten'd from their Coverts fly. The Lord lives; let my Rock be blest; Exalted be my Saviour God. God's Vengeance does my Foes arrest, Subjects whole Nations to my Rod. Thou sav'dst me from mine Enemies, Rais'd me, and wast my sure Defence, From all that up against me rise; Ev'n from the Man of Violence. Therefore, O Lord, my grateful Heart, And Voice, shall celebrate thy Fame: To heathen Lands thy Acts impart, And Praises sing unto thy Name. God great Deliv'rance gives his King; Shews his Anointed signal Grace; Which evermore afresh shall spring, To David, and his promis'd Race.
