Psalm XCIII. (Book 93)
[To the Tune of Psalm 100.] All people, &c.
[verse 1] THE might Lord doth reign on high,And decks himself with Majesty:The Lord doth gird himself with might,In battel to maintain his right.Whereby the world doth stand secureAnd doth unmoveably endure. [verse 2] Thy throne's of equal Age with theeWho never did'st begin to be.
[verse 3] The flouds, O Lord, the flouds do roar,Their swelling waves assault the shoar: [verse 4] But whiles the highest Lord doth reign,The mighty waves do roar in vain. [verse 5] Thy Testimonies firm and sureOur faith against all storms secure:And in thy house, Lord, holinessIs ever, the most comely dress.
