Psal. 97. Dominus regnavit.
1
Rejoyce let earths whole Continent,it is the Lord that raignes:
Be glad, ye many Islands, pent
within the Maines demaines.
2
About him clouds and darknesse round,obscur'd the light that shone:
With Justice, Judgement laid the ground,
the Bases of his Throne.
3
Consuming fire before him goes,that flaming from on hie,
On every side pursues his foes,
them following where they flie.
4
His lightnings at the world shoot light,which bright, but dreadfull shines;
The earth lies trembling at the sight,
and from her hinge declines.
5
In presence when the Lord appear'd,like waxe, the Mountaines melt:
The Lord of all the earth they fear'd,
his presence (trembling) felt.
6
His Justice, as the Heavens declare,whose Ministers they be;
On earth how great his glories are,
so all the people see.
7
Graven Images all they that serve,confusion stands before;
That boast of Idols, whom they carve,
him, all ye gods, adore.
8
This Sion heard, and joy'd to heare,that such successe they had;
Thy Judgements, Lord, with reverend feare,
made Judah's daughters glad.

9
For thou, O Lord, far higher art,than all the earth is hie;
No height, to thy heights lowest part,
of all the gods comes nie.
10
Hate evill, ye that love the Lord,who for his Saints doth stand;
His servants favour'd-soules restor'd,
to free from wicked hand.
11
A light is for the Just one sowne,whose crop shall come to light:
From whence shall sheaves of joy be mow'n,
by men in heart upright.
12
Ye Just then in the Lord rejoyce,your musicke make his praise:
His Holinesse, with thankfull voice,
remembring to up-raise.
