Psalm 96

New composed Ditties sing
To our Everlasting King:
You, all you of Humane birth,
Fed and nourisht by the Earth,
Celebrate Jehovah's Praise,
Daily his Deliveries blase.
His Glory let the Gentiles know;
To the World his wonders show.
O how gracious! ô how great!
Earth his Foot-stoole, Heaven his Seat.
To be fear'd and honor'd more
Then those gods, whom Fooles adore;
Idols by their Servants made:
But our God the Heavens display'd.
Honour, Beautie, Power Divine,
In his Sanctuarie shine.
All, who by his Favour live,
Glory to Jehovah give;
Glory due unto his Name,
And his Mightie Deeds proclame.
Offerings on his Altar lay;
There your Vowes devoutly pay.
In his beauteous Holinesse
To the Lord your Prayer addresse.
All, whom Earths round shoulders beare,
Serve the Lord with Joy and Feare.
Tell Mankinde, Jehovah raignes:
He shall bind the world in Chaines,
So as it shall never slide;
And with sacred Justice guide.
Let the smiling Heavens rejoyce;
Joyfull Earth exalt her Voice:
Let the dancing Billowes rore;
Ecchoes answer from the Shore:
Fields their flowrie Mantles shake;
All shall in their Joy partake:
While the Woods Musicians sing
To the ever-youthfull Spring.
Fill his Courts with sacred Mirth;
He, He comes to judge the Earth.
Justly He the World shall sway,
And his Truth to men display.
