Psalm CIV. Particular Metre, PART I

Bless GOD, O my soul, Rejoice in his name; And let my glad voice Thy greatness proclaim; Surpassing in honor Dominion and might; Thy throne is the heaven, Thy robe is the light.

The sky we behold A curtain display'd, The chambers of heaven On waters are laid. The clouds are a chariot Thy glory to bear, On winds thou art wafted, Thou ridest on air.

As rapid as fire Thy angels on high Convey thy commands, Thy Ministers fly. The earth, on its basis Eternal sustain'd, Is fix'd in the station Thy wisdom ordain'd.

The world, when at first Of chaos compos'd, Was void, without form, In waters enclos'd; Thy voice how majestie, In thunder, was heard, The waters subsided, The mountains appear'd.
