〈♫〉〈♫〉of great fame, Therein to raise, and mount Sion, To make his habitation, And residence within the same.
[verse 3] There did he break the bowmens shafts,
Their fierie dartes so swift of flight:
Their shields, their swords, & al their crafts,
Of warre, when they were bown to fight.
[verse 4] More excellent and more mightie,
Art thou, therefore, then mountaines hie,
Of rauenous wolues, voide of all right.
[verse 5] The stout hearted were made a prey,
A sudden sleepe did them confound:
And all the strong men in that fray,
Their feeble handes they haue not found.
[verse 6] At thy rebuke, O Iaakobs GOD,
Horses with chariots ouer-trod,
As with dead sleepe were cast to ground.
[verse 7] Fearefull art thou, O Lord our guide,
Yea, thou alone, and who is hee,
That in thy presence may abide,
If once thine anger kindled bee?
[verse 8] Thou makest men from heauen to heare,
Thy judgementes just: the earth for feare,
Stilled with silence then wee see.
[verse 9] When thou, O Lord, beginst to rise,
Sentence to giue, as Iudge of all:
And in the earth doest enterprise,
to ridde the humble out of thrall.
[verse 10] Certes, the rage of mortall men,
Shall bee thy praise: the remnant then,
Of their furie thou bindst withall.
[verse 11] Vow, & performe your vowes, therefore,
Vnto the Lord your God, all yee,
That round about him dwell, adore
This fearefull One, with offringes free:
[verse 12] Who may cut off at his vintage,
The breath of princes in their rage,
To earthly kinges fearefull is hee.
