Or envy sinners waxing great, By violence and lies? 2 As flowery grass cut down at noon, Before the evening fades, So shall their glories vanish soon, In everlasting shades. 3 Then let me make the Lord my trust, And practise all that’s good; So shall I dwell among the just, And He provide me food. 4 I to my God my ways commit, And cheerful wait his will; Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet, Shall my desires fulfil. 5 Mine innocence shalt thou display, And make thy judgements known, Fair as the light of dawning day, And glorious as the noon. 6 The meek at last the earth possess, And are the heirs of heaven; True riches, with abundant peace, To humble souls are given. Pause. 7 Rest in the Lord, and keep his way, Nor let your anger rise, Though providence should long delay, To punish haughty vice. 8 Let sinners join to break your peace, And plot, and rage, and foam; The Lord derides them, for he sees Their day of vengeance come. 9 They have drawn out the threatening sword, Have bent the murderous bow, To slay the men that fear the Lord, And bring the righteous low. 10 My God shall break their bows, and burn Their persecuting darts, Shall their own swords against them turn, And pierce their stubborn hearts.
