In vain, O Man of lawless Might

Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #LII (1760) Lyrics: 1 In vain, O Man of lawless Might, thou boast'st thyself in Ill; Since God, the God in whom I trust, vouchsafes his Favour still. 2 Thy wicked Tongue does sland'rous Tales maliciously devise; And, sharper than a Razor set, it wounds with treach'rous Lyes. 3,4 Thy Thoughts are more on Ill, than Good, on Lyes, than Truth, employ'd; Thy Tongue delights in Words by which the Guiltless are destroy'd. 5 God shall for ever blast thy Hopes, and snatch thee soon away; Nor in thy Dwelling-place permit, nor in the World, to stay. 6 The Just, with pious Fear shall see the Downfal of thy Pride; And at thy sudden Ruin laugh, and thus thy Fall deride: 7 "See there the Man that haughty was, "who proudly God defy'd, "who trusted in his Wealth, and still "on wicked Arts rely'd." 8 But I am like those Olive-plants that shade God's Temple round; And hope with his indulgent Grace to be for ever crown'd. 9 So shall my Soul with Praise, O God, extol thy wond'rous Love; And on thy Name with Patience wait; for this thy Saints approve.
