Versos English Cotton Mather Psal. XCIII

English poem

Psal. XCIII

by (1663–1728)

Listen in the reader

Jehovah reigns, he cloathed is with lofty majesty: Jehovah cloathed and begirt with strength himself hath he: The world also is stablished, that it unmov'd shall stay. Thy throne is stablished of old, thou art from lasting ay.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods lift up their voice: The floods on high have lifted up their waves with dashing noise. The Lord on high is more in might than many waters noise: Yea, than the mighty breaking waves of th' oceans roaring voice. Thy testimonies are most sure: Jehovah, sanctity Doth suitably become thine house unto eternity.
