PSALM XCIX.

LEt our Foes with terrour quake; Let the Earths Foundations shake: Now the Lord his Reign begins, Thron'd between the Cherubins. O how great in Sions Towers! High above all Mortal Powers. Great and terrible his Name: Since so holy, praise the same. Judgement his great Power affects; Yet by Equity directs. These celestial Twins imbrace; These reflect on Iacobs Race. O how holy! above all Honour; at his Foot-stool fall, Moses; Aaron heretofore Among those who Mitres wore: Samuel by Vow desir'd, Among those who were inspir'd. These to him their Prayers preferr'd, These by him as soon were heard. These his Statutes rarely brake: Unto these th' Almighty spake In the Pillar of a Cloud: To his Service ever vow'd. He did their Petitions hear, Merciful, and yet severe. The Holy on his Holy Hill Glorifie, and worship still.
