PSALM LXXX.
1 Thou fhepherd that doft Ifrael keep
'I
Give ear in time of need,
Who leader! like a flock of fheep
Thy loved Jofeph's feed,
That fit'ft between the Cherubs bright,
Between their wings out-fpread,
Shine forth, and from thy cloud give light,
And on our foes thy dread.
In Ephraim's view and Benjamin's,
And in Manafleh's fight,
Awake thy ftrength, come, and befecn
To fave us by thy might.
3 Turn us again, thy grace divine
To us O God vouchfafe;
Cauie thou thy face on us to ftiine,
And then we ihall be fafe.
4 Lord God of Hods, how long wilt thou
How long wilt thou declare
Thy fmoking wrath, and angry brovt)
Againft thy people's prayer!
