Second verse of the British National Anthem, otherwise known, perhaps, as "God Save the King/Queen":
O Lord our God ariseConfound their politics? Frustrate their knavish tricks? Wonderful!
Scatter his enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix;
God save us all.
(Found this in Anthony Powell's The Military Philosphers, p. 226.)
