Religion

Psalm 93

by George Sandys 1578–1644

From A Paraphrase upon the Divine Poems (1638)

Religion

Now great Jehovah raignes,
With Majesty aray'd;
His Power all powers restraines,
By men and gods obey'd.
The round Earth hung
In liquid Aire;
Establisht there
But by his Tongue.

Thy Throne more old then Time,
And after, as before.
The Flouds in billowes clime,
And foming loudly rore.
With horrid Noise
The Ocean raves,
And breaks his Waves
Against the Skies.

But thou more to be fear'd,
More terrible then these:
Thy Voice in Thunder heard;
Thy Nod rebukes the Seas.
Thee Truth renowns;
Pure Sanctitie
Eternally
Thy Temple crowns.
