 For God vvUi blaft them, and their Caufe, 
 A.nd whirl, as Chaff, before the Wind.

 The Wicked fhall not Hand the Light j 
 Mix v/irh the Righteous fhall not they. 
 Nor any formal Hypocrite.

 With a difdainful Smile ; 
 The Lord, their feeble Strength derides. 
 
 Their Malice, and their Guile. 
 
 5. Then, in his Wrath, he'll fpeak aloud. 
 And thunder in their Ears •, 
 
 While hov'ring Vengeance fills their Souls, . 
 With dreadful vexing Fears.

 Derides their Strength, their Rage, and Guile.
