"Words adapted (apparently by Janes himself) from Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady, ''New Version'', paraphrase of Psalm 11, in seven stanzas. Janes has conflated the first line of the stanza, converting the meter from the Common Meter (86. 86) of Tate and Brady to Short Meter (66. 86)."

¶Lyrics / Text

:''Janes, 1803 (66. 86.)'' 1. Since God is all my trust, A refuge always nigh, Why should I, like a timorous bird, To distant mountains fly? :''Adapted for these editions (66. 86.)'' 2. The wicked bend their bow, And ready fix their dart; Lurking in ambush to destroy The man of upright heart. 3. When once assurance fails Which public faith imparts, 'Tis time for innocence to fly From such deceitful arts. 4. He hath a temple here, And righteous throne above, Whence he surveys the sons of men, And how their counsels move.
