Psalm 125

MOunt-Syon like, for ever fixt are those
Whose hopefull trust vpon the Lord is founded
For, he his faithfull People will enclose
(Ev'n as with hills Ierusalem is rounded)
As long as Time's perpetuall motion goes.

The Rod of wicked men shall not alight,
Where God the Lot of righteousnes bestoweth.
Lest righteous men pertake in evill might.
For, to the Good, the Lord his mercy showeth
And, favours all that are in hart vpright.

But, Sliders-back, & such as wander wide,
In their owne crooked paths, & waies vneven,
Shall by the Lord, be thither ledd aside,
Where, portions due to hypocrites, are given:
But, Isr'el shall in endles peace abide.
