Psalm 58

When th' injured poor before you stands?
Dare ye condemn the righteous poor,
And let rich sinners 'scape secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your hands?

And, like a robe, his glory wears.

Some fresh memorial of his grace.

And faith forbids his fear.

What unknown joys this moment brings!
Freed from the mischiefs sin has brought,
From pains, and fears, and all their springs.
