Isaac Watts - Psalm 76
Work rating: Low

Israel saved, and the Assyrians destroyed.

In Judah God of old was known;
His name in Isr`el great;
In Salem stood his holy throne,
And Zion was his seat.

Among the praises of his saints
His dwelling there he chose;
There he received their just complaints
Against their haughty foes.

From Zion went his dreadful word,
And broke the threat`ning spear,
The bow, the arrows, and the sword,
And crushed th` Assyrian war.

What are the earth`s wide kingdoms else
But mighty hills of prey?
The hill on which Jehovah dwells
Is glorious more than they.

`Twas Zion`s King that stopped the breath
Of captains and their bands;
The men of might slept fast in death,
And never found their hands.

At thy rebuke, O Jacob`s God,
Both horse and chariot fell:
Who knows the terrors of thy rod?
Thy vengeance who can tell?

What power can stand before thy sight,
When once thy wrath appears?
When heav`n shines round with dreadful light,
The earth lies still and fears.

When God in his own sovereign ways
Comes down to save th` oppressed,
The wrath of man shall work his praise,
And he`ll restrain the rest.

[Vow to the Lord, and tribute bring,
Ye princes, fear his frown;
His terror shakes the proudest king,
And cuts an army down.

The thunder of his sharp rebuke
Our haughty foes shall feel;
For Jacob`s God hath not forsook
But dwells in Zion still.]
