Hearken, ye that know and fear me,[[8]]

Ye who in my law delight;

Ye that seek me, and revere me,

Hate the wrong and love the right.[[9]]

Fear ye not, when men upbraid you,

Worms shall all their strength devour;

My salvation still shall aid you,

Coming ages learn my power.

Why forget the Lord thy Maker?

Why th’ oppressor’s fury dread?
