To shew his wonders do not spare
In all the world throughout.

4 For why? the Lord is great in might
And worthy of all praise,

And he is to be fear'd of right
Above all gods always.

PSALM 97.

EHOVAH reigns, let all the earth In his just government rejoice; Let all the isles, with sacred mirth, In his applause unite their voice.

2 You, who to serve this Lord aspire, Abhor what's ill, and truth esteem; He'll keep his servants' souls entire,

And them from wicked hands redeem. 3 For seeds are sown of glorious light, A future harvest for the just; And gladness for the heart that's right, To recompense its pious trust.

4 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord:
Memorials of his holiness

Deep in your faithful breasts record,
And with your thankful tongues confess.
PSALM 98.

1 SING to the Lord a new made song,
Who wondrous things has done;
With his right hand and holy arm
The conquest he has won.

2 The Lord has through th' astonish'd world, Display'd his saving might,

And made his righteous acts appear
In all the heathen's sight.

3 With harp and hymn's soft melody
Into the concert bring

The trumpet and shrill cornet's sound,
Before th' Almighty King.

4 To welcome down the world's great Judge, Who does with justice come,

And with impartial equity
Both to reward and doom.

PSALM 99.

1 JEHOVAH reigns, let therefore all
The guilty nations quake:

On cherub's wings he sits enthron'd;
Let earth's foundation shake.

2 On Sion's hill he keeps his court,
His palace makes her tow'rs;
Yet thence his sov'reignty extends
Supreme o'er earthly pow'rs.

3 Let therefore all with praise address
His great and dreadful name;
And with his unresisted might
His holiness proclaim.

4 Therefore exalt the Lord our God,
Before his footstool fall;

And with his unresisted might

His holiness extol.

PSALM 100.

1 WITH one consent let all the earth

To God their cheerful voices raise:

Glad homage pay with awful mirth,
And sing before him songs of praise.
2 Convinc'd that he is God alone,
From whom both we and all proceed;
We, whom he chooses for his

own, The flock that he vouchsafes to feed. 3 O enter then his temple gate,

Thence to his courts devoutly press,
And still your grateful hymns repeat,
And still his Name with praises bless.
4 For he's the Lord, supremely good,
His mercy is for ever sure:

His truth, which always firmly stood,
To endless ages shall endure.

PSALM 100. OLD VERSION.

1 ALL people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice: Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 The Lord ye know is God indeed, Without our aid he did us make; We are his flock, he doth us feed,

And for his sheep he doth us take. 3 O enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto ;

Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

PSALM 103.

1 MY soul, inspir'd with sacred love,
God's holy Name for ever bless;
Of all his favours mindful prove,
And still thy grateful thanks express.
2 The Lord abounds with tender love,
And unexampled acts of grace;
His waken'd wrath does slowly move,
His willing mercy flows apace.

3 As high as heav'n its arch extends
Above this little spot of clay,

So much his boundless love transcends
The small respects that we can pay.

4 As far as 'tis from east to west,
So far has he our sins remov'd,
Who with a father's tender breast
Has such as fear him always lov'd.

PART 2.

THE Lord, the universal King,
In heav'n has fix'd his lofty throne;

To him, ye angels, praises sing,

In whose great strength his pow'r is shown.

2 Ye that his just commands obey,
And hear and do his sacred will,
Ye hosts of his, this tribute pay,
Who still what he ordains fulfil.
3 Let ev'ry creature jointly bless
The mighty Lord: and thou, my heart,
With grateful joy thy thanks express,
And in this concert bear thy part.

4 To Father, Son, and Holy-Ghost,
The God whom earth and heav'n adore,
Be glory; as it was of old,

Is now, and shall be evermore.

PSALM 104.

1 BLESS God, my soul; thou, Lord, alone Possessest empire without bounds;

With honour thou art crown'd, thy throne
Eternal majesty surrounds.

2 With light thou dost thyself enrobe,
And glory for a garment take;
Heav'n's curtains stretch beyond the globe,
Thy canopy of state to make.

3 God builds on liquid air, and forms
His palace chambers in the skies;
The clouds his chariot are, and storms
The swift-wing'd steeds with which he flies.
4 As bright as flame, and swift as wind,
His ministers heaven's palace fill,

To have their sundry tasks assign'd;
All proud to serve their sov'reign's will.
