Book of Psalms
PSALM LXXVI.
George Burgess
Our God in Israel's songs is great,
His name in Judah known;
In Salem shines his kingly state,
And Sion is his throne.
There brake his hands the hostile bow,
And dash'd its lightnings wide:
The shield and sword were trampled low,
And war's wild tumult died.
Fair mount, with God's own presence crown'd,
More strong is thine array,
Than tenfold hosts that guard around
The robber's hills of prey.
The stout of heart were spoil'd in flight;
A deadly sleep they slept:
Not one of all the men of might
His hand's old cunning kept.
O Jacob's God, at thy command
Chariot and steed went down:
Thou, thou art dreadful; who can stand
Before thine angry frown?
From heav'n thy voice its thunders gave,
And earth stood still, and fear'd;
When God, the humble souls to save,
His arm in judgment rear'd.
The wrath of man thy praise shall bring;
Its remnant thou shalt stay:
Ye nations, vow to God your King,
Your homage vow, and pay.
From far and near, with off'rings bow'd,
His awful throne adore;
His awful throne, who quells the proud,
The kings of ev'ry shore.
