The Psalms of David (Psalms 44–150) · c. 1586–1599 (first printed 1823)
Psalm 93 (Dominus regnavit)
Cloth'd with state, and girt with might,
Monarck-like Jehova raignes:
He who Earthes foundation pight,
Pight at first, and yet sustaines.
He whose stable throne disdaines
Motions shock, and ages flight:
He who endles one remaines,
One, the same, in changelesse plight.
Rivers, yea, though rivers rore,
Roring though sea-billowes rise;
Vex the deepe, and breake the shore,
Stronger art thou, Lord of skies.
Firme and true thy promise lies
Now and still as heretofore:
Holy worshipp never dies
In thy howse where we adore.
