Book of Psalms
PSALM CI.
George Burgess
Of grace and judgment I will sing;
I sing to thee, my Lord and King,
And seek thy way, securely wise:
Oh, when shall thy bright presence come,
To light my path, to cheer my home,
And on my upright breast arise?
No evil wile mine eye shall heed;
I hate the false transgressor's deed;
Its stain shall ne'er around me cleave:
The faithless tongue, the godless heart,
In shame and silence shall depart,
Nor my beleaguer'd ear deceive.
The sland'rer's lips my wrath shall seal,
That joy a brother's fame to steal;
The lofty brow and eye of pride
Before my presence ne'er shall stand,
But all the faithful of the land
Beneath my smile shall safe abide.
My gates shall open for the just;
Who trusts the Lord shall bear my trust;
And far shall cow'r the impious train;
Till, through my land, the guilty fall,
Nor God's fair city's holy wall
Shall echo to a step profane.
