Psalme Cxxxvii.
by John Donne
By Euphrates' flowry side
We did bide,
From deare Juda faire absented,

Sacked, burned, and inthrall'd,

My meditation weigh:

Direct my prayers to thy Throne,
And thither lift mine eye.

Lord, grant, oh grant me thy compassion ;
For I in thee my trust haue placed ;
Display thy wings for my saluation,
Until my greefs are over-passed.
To thee I sue, Oh God most high,
To thee that canst all want supplie.

Psalm Cvii

Whom he from foes' hand hath redeem'd away.

Hungry and thirsty eke : that them within

Amidst his holy congregation ;
Shew forth his works, set forth his fame,
Sing praise, sing praise unto his name ;

On thee, O Lord my God, relies
My onely trust from bloudy spight;
Of all my raging enemies
Oh let thy mercy me acquite;
Lest they, like greedy lyons, rend

If I with mischief ever sought
