PSALME XCVI.
As the 29.
NEw composed Ditties sing To our Everlasting King: You, all you of Humane birth, Fed and nourisht by the Earth, Celebrate Jehovah's Praise, Daily his Deliveries blase. His Glory let the Gentiles know; To the VVorld his wonders show. O how gracious! ô how great! Earth his Foot-stoole, Heaven his Seat. To be fear'd and honor'd more Then those gods, whom Fooles adore; Idols by their Servants made: But our God the Heavens display'd. Honour, Beautie, Power Divine, In his Sanctuarie shine. All, who by his Favour live, Glory to Jehovah give; Glory due unto his Name, And his Mightie Deeds proclame. Offerings on his Altar lay; There your Vowes devoutly pay.

In his beauteous Holinesse [Part. 2] To the Lord your Prayer addresse. All, whom Earths round shoulders beare, Serve the Lord with Joy and Feare. Tell Mankinde, Jehovah raignes: He shall bind the world in Chaines, So as it shall never slide; And with sacred Justice guide. Let the smiling Heavens rejoyce; Joyfull Earth exalt her Voice: Let the dancing Billowes rore; Ecchoes answer from the Shore: Fields their flowrie Mantles shake; All shall in their Joy partake: VVhile the VVoods Musicians sing To the ever-youthfull Spring. Fill his Courts with sacred Mirth; He, He comes to judge the Earth. Justly He the VVorld shall sway, And his Truth to men display.
