They are seen—Thy goings, O God!—
Thy goings, my God and my King!
In the place which is holy to Thee.
First, went the song-men in front,
Behind, those who strook the strings,
In the midst the choir of the maidens,
Who skill the tabrets to beat.
In the full assemblies, O bless ye
God the Lord, ye souls
That well forth in living waves,
From Israel's fountain-head!
Benjamin's tribe is there;
Small, but his chief at his head.
The princes of Judah are there,
With their goodly company;
The princes of Zebulun,
And the princes of Naphtali.
