PSALM XCIII.
I
Thou reignest, Lord, in glory clad;Power, might, dominion's thine;
In strength magnificent array'd,
And majesty divine.
II
The pendent world, on flitting air(Unsure foundation) placed,
Upheld by thine almighty care,
With time itself shall last.
III
Ere measured time began to move,Fix'd was thy glorious throne,
Where, bless'd, thy Godhead sat above,
Eternal and alone.
IV
The sea, by tempests lifted high,Scarce brooks its ancient shores;
And, proudly swelling to the sky,
Like rolling thunder roars.
V
Strong is the rage of mighty seas;But stronger nature's Lord;
Who floods can with a word appease,
Created with a word.

VI
Steadfast are thy commands, O God;Firm fix'd thy truth abides.
Fair holiness beseems the' abode
Where the' Holy One resides.
