Psalm 144

The Lord unrivall'd reigns,
His royal power maintains:
Earth, thine awful Monarch bless.
Own with joy His happy sway;
Him let all thine isles confess,
All exult their God to' obey.
Darkness and clouds surround
The King with glory crown'd:
Righteousness and sovereign grace
To support His empire join;
Burns a fire before His face,
Minister of wrath Divine.

The sin-consuming power
Doth terribly devour!
By the weapons of His war,
Thunderstruck, His foes expire,
Through the earth His lightnings glare,
Set the trembling world on fire.

The hills were melted down,
Like wax before the sun.
Lord of the whole earth He is;

Hail the present Deity!
Heaven, declare His righteousness,
All the world. His glory see!

Confounded are all they
That other lords obey.
Boasters of their idols vain!

Own, ye kings. His sovereign power;
Serve the Lord by whom ye reign.
Him, ye gods of earth, adore.

Sion hath heard His word,
And gloried in her Lord.
Jesus, God of truth and love,
Power supreme to Thee is given,
Far above all gods, above
Every name in earth or heaven!

Fly every touch of blame,
All ye that love His name!
He preserves your souls below,
Keeps from sin and Satan's power.
Till His utmost truth ye know.
Till His saints can sin no more.

The light of truth is sown
For every simple one.
Reap the fruits of joy and peace.

Righteous souls, the promise prove.
Thank Him for His holiness,
Glory in His perfect love.
