How nigh to him, who with firm Trust for his Assistance prays. 19 He grants the full Desires of those who him with Fear adore; And will their Troubles soon compose, when they his Aid implore. 20 The Lord preserves all those with Care whom grateful Love employs: But Sinners who his Vengeance dare, with furious Rage destroys. 21 My Time to come, in Praises spent, shall still advance his Fame, And all Mankind with one Consent for eve bless his Name.
