Psalm 35:2. 12-14.  Second Part. 
Love to enemies; or, The love of
Christ to sinners typified in David.

1 Behold the love, the generous love
That holy David shows;
Hark, how his sounding bowels move
To his afflicted foes!

2 When they are sick his soul complains,
And seems to feel the smart;
The spirit of the gospel reigns,
And melts his pious heart.

3 How did his flowing tears condole
As for a brother dead! 
And fasting mortify’d his soul,
While for their life he pray’d.

4 They groan’d; and curs’d him on their bed,
Yet still he pleads and mourns;
And double blessings on his head
The righteous God returns.

5 O glorious type of heavenly grace!  Thus Christ the Lord appears; While sinners curse, the Saviour prays, And pities them with tears.

6 He, the true David, Israel’s king,
Blest and belov’d of God,
To save us rebels dead in sin,
Paid his own dearest blood.

Psalm 36:1. 5-9.  L. M.
The perfections and providence of God;
or, General providence and special grace.

1 High in the heavens, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break thro’ every cloud That veils and darkens thy designs.

2 For ever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

3 Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share;
The whole creation is thy charge,
But saints are thy peculiar care.

4 My God! how excellent thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort springs!  The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of thy wings.

5 From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast;
There mercy like a river flows,
And brings salvation to our taste.

6 Life, like a fountain rich and free Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promis’d in thy word.

Psalm 36:2. 1 2 5 6 7 9 C. M.
Practical atheism exposed; or,
The being and attributes of God asserted.

1 While men grow bold in wicked ways! 
And yet a God they own,
My heart within me often says,
“Their thoughts believe there’s none.”

2 Their thoughts and ways at once declare
(Whate’er their lips profess)
God hath no wrath for them to fear,
Nor will they seek his grace.

3 What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes!  But there’s an hastening hour When they shall see with sore surprise The terrors of thy power.

4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne,
Tho’ mountains melt away;
Thy judgments are a world unknown,
A deep unfathom’d sea.

5 Above the heavens’ created rounds,
Thy mercies, Lord, extend;
Thy truth outlives the narrow bounds,
Where time and nature end.
