PSALM XXIX.
Yee kings, since by God's power and grace, yee raigneGlory and power ascribe to Him againe;
Yeild Him the honnour due to His great name,
And in His glorious Courts, His praise proclaime;
His voyce doth cause the Seas, to swell and shake,
And in the heauens the dreadfull thunder make;
Jehouah's voice effects of power doth breed,
It is a stronge and glorious voyce indeed;
His voyce the cedar doth in sunder teare,
The Cedars which Mount Lebanus doth beare;
Makes Lebanus, and Hermon hill, to tremble
And skippinge Calues and Unicornes, resemble;
Doth breake the clouds, and flames of fire deuide,
The deserts shake, euen Cader['s] desert wide;
Makes hindes to calue, for feare makes forrests bare,
While in His temple wee His praise declare;
The Lord vpon the water-floods doth raigne.
The Lord a Kinge for euer doth remaine;
The Lord shall still His people's strength encrease,
And giue to them the blessinge of His peace.
