Which country's National Anthem includes the words Confound their politics.  Frustrate their knavish tricks?

I know they're words to a verse of God Save The Queen - but is the anthem Great Britain, Britain, the United Kingdom or what ???

Any views would be appreciated!!!

This article explains, strictly speaking it is for the United Kingdom, but Wales and Scotland have their own anthems as well.

The National Anthem is an anthem for the whole of the UK but when you consider that the words of the 5th verse are

"Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!"

you will realise why a lot of us consider the National Anthem to be an insult and why I refuse to sing it or stand for it when played.
