Isaiah 33 - Scottish Metrical Paraphrases 1781(MP1781)

SONG 218,6,8,6tune: Dunfermline, 53.Isaiah 33:13-18

13-18 Attend, ye tribes that dwell remote,

ye tribes at hand, give ear;

Th’ upright in heart alone have hope,

the false in heart have fear.

2 The man who walks with God in truth,

and ev’ry guile disdains;

Who hates to lift oppression’s rod,

and scorns its shameful gains;

3 Whose soul abhors the impious bribe

that tempts from truth to stray,

And from th’ enticing snares of vice

who turns his eyes away:

4 His dwelling, ’midst the strength of rocks,

shall ever stand secure;

His Father will provide his bread,

his water shall be sure.

5 For him the kingdom of the just

afar doth glorious shine;

And he the King of kings shall see

in majesty divine.
