Psalm 136

The Bountie of Jehovah praise:
This God of gods all Scepters swaies.
Thankes to the Lord
of lords afford;
And his amazing Wonders blaze:
For from the King of kings
Eternall Mercie springs.

Him praise, who fram'd the arched Skie;
Those Orbs that move so orderly.
Firme Earth above,
The Flouds that move
Display'd, and rais'd the Hils on high.
For from the King of kings
Eternall Mercy springs.

Who Sun and Moone inform'd with Light,
To guide the Day, and rule the Night:
The fixed Starres,
And Wanderers
Created by divine fore-sight.
For from the King of kings
Eternall Mercy springs.

The first-borne of Aegyptians slew;
Whose wounds the thirsty Earth imbrew:
And from that Land,
With powerfull hand,
Th'oppressed sonnes of Jacob drew.
For from the King of kings
Eternall mercy springs.

The parted Seas before them fled,
Who in their empty chanels tread:
The joyning waves,
Aegyptian graves:
And his through food-lesse Deserts led.
For from the King of Kings
Eternall mercy springs.

Who numerous Armies put to flight,
And mighty Princes slew in fight:
Og prostrate laid,
Who Bashan swai'd;
And Sihon the crown'd Amorite.
For from the King of kings
Eternall mercy springs.

By his strong hand those Giants fell;
And gave their Lands to Israel:
Confirm'd by deed
Vnto their Seed:
Who in their conquer'd Cities dwell.
For from the King of kings
Eternall mercy springs.

Remembred us in our distresse;
And freed from those, who did oppresse.
He food doth give
To all that live.
The God of Heaven, O Israel, blesse.
For from the King of kings
Eternall Mercy springs.
