I.XCI | The Psalms of David#I.XCII | I.XCIII |
1 Shall Wisdom cry aloud,
And not her Speech be heard?
The Voice of God's eternal Word,
Deserves it no Regard?
2 "I was his chief Delight,
"His Everlasting Son,
"Before the first of all his Works,
"Creation, was begun.
[3 "Before the flying Clouds,
"Before the solid Land,
"Before the Fields, before the Flood,
"I dwelt at his Right Hand.
4 "When he adorn'd the skies,
"And built them, I was there,
"To order where the Sun should rise,
"And marshal ev'ry Star.
5 "When he pour'd out the Sea,
"And spread the flowing Deep,
"I gave the Flood a firm Decree
"In its own Bounds to keep.]
6 "Upon the empty Air
"The Earth was ballanc'd well;
"With Joy I saw the Mansion where
"The Sons of Men should dwell.
7 "My busy Thoughts at first
"On their Salvation ran,
"E'er Sin was born, or Adam's Dust
"Was fashion'd to a Man.
9 "Then come, receive my Grace,
"Ye Children, and be wise;
"Happy the Man that keeps my Ways,
The Man that shuns them dies.
