Defend the poor and desolate,  
And rescue from the hands  
Of wicked men the low estate  
Of him that help demands.  
They know not nor will understand,  
In darkness they walk on,  
The Earths foundations all are *mov'd  
And *out of order gon.  
*Jimmotu.

I said that ye were Gods, yea all  
The Sons of God most high  
But ye shall die like men, and fall  
As other Princes die.  
Rise God, *judge thou the earth in might,  
This wicked earth *redress,  
For thou art he who shalt by right  
The Nations all possess.  
*Shiphta.  
PSAL. LXXXIII.

BE not thou silent now at length  
O God hold not thy peace,  
Sit not thou still O God of strength  
We cry and do not cease.
