When clouds of trouble about thee gather,
The god of Jacob be thy protector.
He from his presence send to thee hither
Help out of Zion and be thy director.
Thine vows and offerings let him call to mind,
And thy burnt sacrifice acceptance find.
What thou conceavest may't enacted be;
The counsels of thy heart let him fulfil.
Then shall we rejoice in thy victory,
And trophies raise to his name then we will.
Now t'is for thine annointed sake we see
Thou with thy saving hand will set him free.
Some in ther chariots trust, in horses some:
We in the Lord, yet no false trust will mix.
Some we see fall, others to ruin come,
But we as on a rock our standing fix.
Lord, let thy kingly power here then appear,
And to our just complaints, oh gently hear.
