Psal. 29. Afferte Domino.

Psalmus Davidis.

1

Give to the Lord, ye men of Might,
ye sonnes of Mighty race,
Give glorie to the Lord, his right;
all strength to his give place.

2

Give to the Lord his Names renowne
before his holy Seat:
Your selves unto the Lord bowe downe,
his beauteous honour greet.

3

The voice that forth on waters breakes,
it is the Lord that-bounds:
The glorious God in thunder speakes,
the Lord on seas re-sounds.

4

The Lord sends forth a mighty noise,
when power his power withstands:
The Lord gives out a soveraigne voice,
when Majestie commands.

5

When lofty Cedars broken lie,
his voice the Lord extends:
Of Lebanon the Cedars high
the Lord in sunder rends.

6

He makes them like a Heifer trip,
proud of his velvet hornes;
So Lebanon, so Shirion skip,
so skip young Unicornes.

7

The Lords voice shoots out flames of fire,
JAH'S voice the Desert shakes:

8

To tremble, if the Lord transpire,
the Desert Cadesh makes.

9

JAH'S voice makes Hinds bring forth their young,
the Forrest-brood makes bare:
And in his Temple every tongue
his glorie can declare.

10

The Lord sate Soveraigne, at the floud
the Lord for ever raignes;
For sinners judgement, for the good
his Mercy-seat ordaines.

11

Strength to his people, their strong Rocke,
the Mighty Lord will give:
The blessing he will give his flocke,
shall be in peace to live.
