Religion
2 Samuel 12:14: By this deed thou hast given great occasion, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Haters of God, who still blaspheme
His glorious name for David's fall.
As ye have sinn'd, repent like him,
Or judgment shall o'erwhelm you all:
From David'' s fall occasion take
For mercy in faint hope to cry,
Or deeper plunging in the lake,
And doubly damn'd, for ever die!
