He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;
He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks.—Isaiah, xxxiii. 15, 16.
Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.—Romans, ix. 33.
God, known in Hebron, and by Kedar’s hill,
His glory to those rocks was once laid bare;
Upon the mountain top we seek Thee still,
Lord, tell us whether Thou art there?
Ye peaceful dwellers in these blest retreats;
As at the foot of mountains Israel prayed,
For tranquil nights, and on your rocky seats
