[The mighty God the Lord hath spoke]

The mighty God the Lord hath spoke
and call'd the earth upon,
Ev'n from the rising of the sun,
unto his going down.

2

From out of Sion, his own hill,

where the perfection hie
Of beauty is, from thence the Lord
hath shined gloriously.

3

Our God shal come, & shal no more

be silent, but speak out.
Before him fire shal wast, great storms
shall compasse him about.

4

He, to the heavens from above,

and to the earth below
Shall call, that He his judgement may
before his people show.

5

Let all my saints together be

unto me gathered,
Those, that by sacrifice, with me
a covenant have made

6

And then the heavens shal declare

His righteousnesse abroad:
Because the Lord himself doth come,
none else is judge but God.

7

Hear, O my people, and I'le speak:

O Israel by name,
Against thee I wil testifie,
God, ev'n thy God I am.

8

I, for thy sacrifices few,

reprove thee never wil;
Nor for burnt-offrings to have been
before me offred still.

9

I'le take no bullock, nor hee-goats

from house, nor folds of thine:

10

For, beasts of forrests, cartel all

on thousand hils, are mine.

11

The fowls are all to me wel known

that mountains high do yeeld;
And I do challenge as mine own,
the wilde beasts of the field.

12

If I were hungry, I would not

to thee for need complain;
For earth, and all its fulnesse, doth
to me of right pertain.

13

That I, to eat the flesh of buls

take pleasure, dost thou think?
Or, that I need to quench my thirst,
the bloud of goats to drink?

14

Nay, rather unto me, thy God,

thanksgiving offer thou,
To the most high perform thy word,
and fully pay thy vow.

15

And, in the day of trouble great,

see that thou call on me;
I will deliver thee, and thou
my Name shalt glorifie,

16

But, God unto the wicked saith,

why should thou mention make
Of my commands? how dar'st thou in
thy mouth my covenant take?

17

Sith it is so, that thou dost hate

all good instruction;
And sith thou casts behinde thy back,
and slights my words eachone.

18

Whē thou a thief didst see, then straight

thou joyn'd with him in sin;
And, with the vile adulterers,
thou hast partaker bin.

19

Thy mouth to evill thou dost give,

thy tongue deceit doth frame,

20

Thou first, & 'gainst thy brother speak'st

thy mothers son to shame.

21

These things thou wickedly hast done,

and I have silent bin;
Thou thought that I was like thy self,
and did approve thy sin:
But I will sharply thee reprove,
and I will order right,
Thy sins and thy transgressions
in presence of thy sight.

22

Consider this, and be afraid,

ye that forget the Lord,
Lest I in pieces tear you all,
when none can help afford.

23

Who offereth praise me glorifies:

I wil shew Gods salvation
To him that ordereth aright
his life, and conversation.
