Domini est terra. Psal. xxiv.
THe earth is all the Lords, with all
her store and furniture:
Yea, his is all the world, and all
that therein doth endure.
[verse 2] For he hath fastly founded it
above the seas to stand;
And laid alow the liquid flouds,
to flow beneath the land.
[verse 3] For who is he, O Lord, that shall
ascend into thy hill,
Or pass into thy holy place,
there to continue still?
[verse 4] Whose hands are harmless, and whose heart
no spot there doth defile:
His soul not set on vanity,
who hath not sworn to guile,
[verse 5] Him that is such a one, the Lord
shall place in blissful plight,
And God his God and Saviour
shall yeeld to him his right.
[verse 6] This is the brood of travellers,
in seeking of his grace:
As Jacob did the Israelite,
in that time of his race.
[verse 7] Ye princes ope your gates, stand ope
the everlasting gate:
For there shall enter in thereby
the king of glorious state.
[verse 8] Who is the king of glorious state?
the strong and mighty Lord,
The mighty Lord in battel stout,
and trial of the sword.
[verse 9] Ye princes ope your gates, stand ope
the everlasting gate:
For there shall enter in thereby
the king of glorious state.
[verse 10] Who is the king of glorious state?
the Lord of hosts it is:
The kingdom and the royalty
of glorious state is his.
