PSALM 33. First Part. (C. M.) Works of Creation and Providence.
I
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the LordThis work belongs to you:
Sing of his name, his ways, his word,
How holy, just, and true!
II
His mercy and his righteousnessLet heaven and earth proclaim;
His works of nature and of grace
Reveal his wondrous name.
III
His wisdom and almighty wordThe heavenly arches spread;
And by the Spirit of the Lord
Their shining hosts were made.
IV
He bid the liquid waters flowTo their appointed deep;
The flowing seas their limits know,
And their own station keep.
V
Ye tenants of the spacious earth,With fear before him stand;
He spake, and nature took its birth,
And rests on his command.
VI
He scorns the angry nations' rage,And breaks their vain designs;
His counsel stands through every age,
And in full glory shines.
