PSALM XCV.
* 1.1COme Sing the great Jehovah's Praise,Whose Mercies have prolong'd our Dayes;Sing with a joyful voyce.With bending Knees, and raised EyesAdore your God: O sacrifice;In sacred Hymns rejoyce.
Great is the God of our Defence,Transcending all in eminence:His Hand the Earth sustains;The Depths, the lofty Mountains made;The Land and liquid Plains displaid,And curbs them with his Reins.
O come, before his Foot-stool fall,Our only God, who form'd us all;Through Storms of danger led.He is our Shepherd, we his Sheep;His Hands from Wolves and Rapine keep,In pleasant Pastures fed.
The Voice of God thus spake this Day;Repine not as at Meribah,
As in the Wilderness:Where your Fore-fathers tempted me;Who did my Works of Wonder see,And to their shame confess.
When vex'd for forty years, I said;This People in their hearts have stray'd;Rebellious to command:To whom I in my Anger swore,That Death should seise on them, beforeThey knew this pleasant Land.
