Book of Psalms
PSALM XCIX.
George Burgess
The Lord is King, enthron'd on high,
Where radiant cherubs veil the brow:
Let nations quake beneath his eye,
Let earth's foundations trembling bow.
The Lord is great in Sion's tow'rs,
And fam'd above all royal fame;
Let all thy realms, with all their pow'rs,
Exalt and dread thy hallow'd name.
O mighty King, thy sov'reign sway
The righteous cause has lov'd and led:
A law of truth thy tribes obey,
And judgments just thy glory spread.
Exalt the Lord in praises loud,
And low at God's pure footstool fall;
So Moses sang, so Aaron bow'd,
So rose the voice of Samuel's call.
Prophets and priests, they call'd on thee,
And heard thee from thy cloud in heav'n;
For firm they kept thy good decree,
And lov'd the law my love had giv'n.
Thou heard'st them, Lord, in pard'ning grace,
Though oft they drew thy chast'ning rod:
Exalt him in his lofty place,
For holy reigns the Lord our God!
