I reioyced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord. Psalme 122:1 (Geneva Bible)

HYMN 17. (C. M.)
Victory over death. 1 Cor. xv. 55, &c.
by Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

FOR an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o’er the monster Death,
   And all his frightful powers!

Joyful with all the strength I have
   My quiv’ring lips should sing—
Where is thy boasted vict’ry, Grave?
   And where the monster’s sting?

If sin be pardoned, I’m secure,
   Death hath no sting beside;
The law gives sin its damning power;
   But Christ, my ransom, died.

Now to the God of victory
   Immortal thanks be paid,
Who makes us conquerors while we die,
   Through Christ our living head.

salme 58
Geneva Bible. To him that excelleth.
Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam.
1 Is it true? O Congregation, speake ye iustly? O sonnes of men, iudge ye vprightly?
2 Yea, rather ye imagine mischiefe in your heart: your hands execute crueltie vpon the earth.
3 The wicked are strangers from ye wombe: euen from the belly haue they erred, and speake lyes.
4 Their poyson is euen like the poyson of a serpent: like ye deafe adder that stoppeth his eare.
5 Which heareth not the voyce of the inchanter, though he be most expert in charming.
6 Breake their teeth, O God, in their mouthes: breake the iawes of the yong lions, O Lord.
7 Let them melt like the waters, let them passe away: when hee shooteth his arrowes, let them be as broken.
8 Let them consume like a snayle that melteth, and like the vntimely fruite of a woman, that hath not seene the sunne.
9 As raw flesh before your pots feele the fire of thornes: so let him cary them away as with a whirlewinde in his wrath.
10 The righteous shall reioyce when he seeeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feete in the blood of the wicked.
11 And men shall say, Verily there is fruite for the righteous: doutlesse there is a God that iudgeth in the earth.
