1 The namea of Josiah is as sweet-smelling incense,

That is well mixed, the workb of the apothecary.

cThe mention of himc is sweet din the palated as honey,

And as music at a banquet of wine.

HB 2 eFor he was grievedf at our backslidinge,

And put an end to gthe vain abominationsg;

3 And he hgave his heart whollyh unto Godi,

And in days of violencek lhe practised pietyl.
