The fourth part.

Yea, and strange kings to us subdu'd
shall do like in those days:
I mean, to thee they shall present
their gifts of laud and praise.
 [verse 30]  He shall destroy the spear-mens ranks,
the calves and bulls of might:
And cause them tribute pay, and daunt
all such as love to sight.

 [verse 31]  Then shall the lords of Egypt come,
and presents with them bring:
The Moors most black shall stretch their hands
unto their Lord and King.
 [verse 32]  Therefore ye kingdoms of the earth,
give praise unto the Lord:
Sing psalms to God with one consent,
thereto let all accord.

 [verse 33]  Who though he ride and ever hath
above the heavens bright:
Yet by the fearful thunder-claps
men may well know his might.
 [verse 34]  Therefore the strength of Israel
ascribe to God on high,
Whose might and power doth far extend
above the cloudy sky.

 [verse 35]  O God thy holiness and power
is dread for evermore:
The God of Israel gives us strength,
praised be God therefore.
