a new psalm for the chapel of kilmarnock

on the thanksgiving-day for his majesty's recovery.

o sing a new song to the lord,

make, all and every one,

a joyful noise, even for the king

his restoration.

the sons of belial in thend

did set their heads together;

e, let us sweep them off, said they,

like an o'erflowing river.

they set their heads together, i say,

they set their heads together;

on right, on left, on every hand,

we saw none to deliver.

thou madest strong two chosen ones

to quell the wicked's pride;

that young man, great in issachar,

the burden-bearing tribe.

and him, among the princes chief

in our jerusalem,

the judge that's mighty in thyw,

the man that fears thy name.
