109. Thou hast cast off, and scatter'd us

1. Thou hast cast off, and scatter'd us,
O God, thou wast displeas'd;
Oh, turn thyself to us again,
And shew thyself appeas'd.
2. To tremble thou hast made our Earth,
With sore Divisions rent;
Ch, heal the Breaches thou hast made;
It shakes, to Ruin bent.

3. Thou hard, and grievous Things to bear,
Thy People did'st assign;
And of Astonishment has made
Us drink the deadly Wine.
4. But now, to them that fear thy Name,
A Banner thou hast rear'd;
And it in Triumph is display'd,
So hath thy Truth appeared.

5. That thy Belov'd, as heretofore,
May still Deliv'rance have:
O hear the fervent Pray'rs we make,
And let thy Right-hand save.
6. God, in his Holiness, hath spoke.
My Joy it cannot fail ;
I'll portion out fair Sichem's Soil,
And meet out Succcth's Vale.

7. Fam'd Gilead, and Manasah, both,
Already own my Cause;
The gallant Wphr'im's Tribe's nmy Strength,
And Judah gives forth Laws.
8. Moab shall serve to wash my Feet,
O'er Edom I will tread;
The proud Philistian Lords shall stoop,
And to my Triumphs add.

9. But who shall their strong City take,
And bring to our Command?
Who shall to Vict'ry lead our Arms,
Thro' Edom's rocky Land?
10. Tho' thou, O God, hast cast us off,
Refus'd our Arms to bless;
Wilt thou not, now, our Armies head.
And crown them with Success?

11. From all our Troubles give us Help;
Man's Help is vain we own.
12. Thro' God we shall do valiant Acts;
'Tis he our Foes treads down.
