Psalm XCIII. Long Metre. Divine Sovereignty and Holiness
by Anonymous
The Lord, the God of glory reigns, In robes of majesty array'd; The earth's foundations he sustains, And rules the world his hand hath made.
Ere rolling seas began to move, Or the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad; Thy sacred throne was fix'd above, From everlasting thou art God.
The floods, O Lord, lift up their voice And toss their troubled waves on high; But God above can still the noise, And make the angry sea comply.
Thy righteous laws, O Lord, are sure, And those who in thy presence dwell, That happy station to secure, Must still in holiness excell.
