English poem
Psal. XCVI
by Anonymous
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing all th' earth the Lord unto. Sing to Jehovah, bless his Name, still his salvation show. 3 His glory to the heathen folk, to all, his wonders spread. For great's the Lord much to be prais'd above all gods in dread.
Because vain idols are they all, which heathen gods do name, But yet Jehovah he it is that did the heavens frame Honour and comely Majesty abide before his face: Both fortitude and beauty are within his holy place.
Ye kindreds of the people all unto the Lord afford: Both Majesty and mightiness give ye unto the Lord. The glory to Jehovah give that to his Name is due. And bringing an oblation, into his Courts come you
In beauty of his holiness do ye the Lord adore: The universal earth likewise in fear stand him before. 'Mongst heathens say Jehovah reigns, the world shall stablisht be. It shall not move: in righteousness the people judge shall he.
O let the heav'ns hereat be glad, and let the earth rejoyce; Let seas and fulness of the same, with roaring make a noise. O let the field be full of joy, and all things thereabout, Then all the trees within the wood they joyfully shall shout.
Before Jehovah, for he comes, to judge the earth comes he: The world with justice, and the folk to judge with equity.
