35. Ps. cxxi. (Richmond.) 1 To Zion's hill 1 lift my eyes, From thence expecting aid; To Zion's hill, and Zion's God, Who heaven and earth has made. 2 Then thou, my soul, in safety rest, 3 Sheltered beneath th' Almighty's wings, Thou shalt securely rest, Where neither sun nor moon shall thee 4 At home, abroad, in peace, in war, 36.
