Platt, Jr., [1926]\nThe fine old doctrine--\"Thou art our Shield!\"\nMake not Thy dwelling afar from us, O God;\n \u00a0\u00a0Lest they assail us that hate us without cause.\n For Thou hast rejected them, O God;\n \u00a0\u00a0Let not their foot trample upon Thy holy inheritance.\n Chasten us Thyself in Thy good pleasure;\n \u00a0\u00a0But give us not up to the nations;\n For, if Thou sendest pestilence,\n \u00a0\u00a0Thou Thyself givest it charge concerning us;\n For Thou art merciful,\n \u00a0\u00a0And wilt not be angry to the point of consuming us.\nWhile Thy name dwelleth in our midst, we shall find mercy;\n \u00a0\u00a0And the nations shall not prevail against us.\n For Thou art our shield,\n \u00a0\u00a0And when we call upon Thee, Thou hearkenest to us;\n For Thou wilt pity the seed of Israel for ever\n \u00a0\u00a0And Thou wilt not reject them: p. 111\n But we shall, be under Thy yoke for ever,\n \u00a0\u00a0And under the rod of Thy chastening.\n Thou wilt establish us in the time that Thou helpest us,\n \u00a0\u00a0Showing mercy to the house of Jacob on the day wherein Thou didst promise to help them.","title":"The Forgotten Books of Eden: The Psalms of Solomon: Chapter VII","type":"page"}
