A New Version of the Psalms
PSALM LXXXVII.
Tate and Brady
God's temple crowns the holy mount,
The Lord there condescends to dwell;
2 His Sion's gates, in his account,
Our Israel's fairest tents excel.
3 Fame glorious things of thee shall sing,
O city of th' Almighty King!
4 I'll mention Rahab with due praise,
In Babylon's applauses join;
The fame of Ethiopia raise,
With that of Tyre and Palestine;
And grant that some amongst them born
Their age and country did adorn.
5, 6 But still of Sion I'll aver,
That many such from her proceed;
Th' Almighty shall establish her:
His gen'ral list shall shew, when read,
That such a person there was born,
And such did such an age adorn.
7. He'll Sion find with numbers fill'd
Of such as merit high renown;
For hand and voice musicians skill'd,
And, her transcending fame to crown,
Of such she shall successions bring,
Like waters from a living spring.
