7 And thus to Him was pleased to say, (3) An excellent drug-
     As I His words declare; (3) german.

9 But those, that do thy laws refuse, (4) After a man is
      In pieces thou shalt break; broken in pieces,
    And with an iron sceptre bruise (4) ’tis no great matter
      Their disobedient (5) neck. to have his neck
          
                                     bruised.

10 Ye earthly kings, the caution hear; (6) Rulers must learn
      Ye rulers, learn the same; (6) it, but kings may only
                                               hear it.

11 Serve God with reverence, and with fear(7)
      His joyful praise proclaim; (7) Very proper to make a

III.  PSALM OF DAVID.

When he fled from his son Absalom. To Dr. Gibbs, ex aqua
                                               in ignem.

4 When to the Lord for help I cry, (3) Sec_o_ure. 
     He hears me from the Throne on high;
                                               (4) By this I think it
5 And thus I sleep and wake secure, (3) is clear that he cries
     Guarded by His almighty Power. (4) in his sleep.

6 No fears shall then my soul depress,* Depre_a_se, Lo_a_rd,
     Though thus my enemies increase; Scotice.

7 And (5) therefore, now arise, O Lord,* (5) He desires God’s
     And graciously thy help afford:  help, because
                                               he is not afraid of
                                               his enemies; others,
                                               I think, usually
                                               desire it when they
                                               are afraid.
