Psalm XXIX.
[As the 100. Psalm.]
[verse 1] 1 THE glorious Empire of the LordYe Rulers of the World proclaim; [verse 2] 2 And in his Sanctuary giveThe Honour due unto his Name.
[verse 3] 3 Heark, how his Thund'ring voice do's runThrough all the Regions of the Sky;The Clouds are frighted with the noise, [verse 4] 4 So full of Pow'r and Majesty.
[verse 5] 5 The lofty Cedars bow their Heads,And break before the mighty sound; [verse 6] 6 Mountains that bear them feel the shock,And like a frighted Calf rebound.
[verse 7] 7 Before this voice the dreadful flamesOf pointed Lightnings tear the air,
descriptionPage 30
[verse 8] 8 Wild Creatures, that in deserts dwell,Think they're not safe, but quake for fear.
[verse 9] 9 This makes the timerous Hinds to Calve,Wild Beasts the naked Thickets leave;But in his sacred Temple allFearless to God their praises give.
[verse 10] 10 The Lords Dominion do's extendTo Clouds above and Floods below; [verse 11] 11 This great Protector of the good,Will rest and Peace on his bestow.
