Who place on Zion's God their trust, Like Zion's lofty rock shall stand

Verse 1

Who place on Sion's God their Trust, Like Sion's lofty Rock shall stand; Like her, immoveable be fix'd, Establish'd by his mighty Hand: Whose strong Foundations stand secure, And shall for evermore endure.

Verse 2

Look how the Hills on ev'ry Side The fair Jerusalem inclose; So stands the LORD around his Saints, To guard them from their Foes: He shall their strong Protector be, And from all Danger set them free.

Verse 3

The Wicked may afflict the Just, But they shall not too long oppress, Or force him by Despair to seek Unrighteous Means for his Redress; For GOD, who still remains his Friend, From Heav'n shall speedy Succour send.

Verse 4

Do good, O righteous GOD, to those, Who do in Goodness take Delight; The Heart that Innocence retains, To those thy choicest Blessings give, Whose Hearts before thee are upright: The LORD the Wicked shall destroy, But crown his Saints with Peace and Joy.
