Psalm XCIII.

1

The Lord doth reign, and is adorn'd!
With power and majesty:
In royal robes he is arraid,
To shew his dignity.

2

He rules the world, which else long since
Had to confusion ran:
Yea, Lord, thy throne appointed was,
Before the world began.
151

3

The floods, O Lord, the floods do roar,
The mighty billows swell:
But thou art stronger far than they,
Who dost in heaven dwell.

4

Because thy promises, O Lord,
Are very firm and sure;
Thy beautiful and holy church,
Forever shall endure.
