Psalms 74:11-18 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

11. Thy hand, ev'n thy right hand of might,why dost thou thus draw back?O from thy bosom pluck it outfor our deliv'rance sake.

12. For certainly God is my King,ev'n from the times of old,Working in midst of all the earthsalvation manifold.

13. The sea, by thy great pow'r, to partasunder thou didst make;And thou the dragons' heads, O Lord,within the waters brake.

14. The leviathan's head thou brak'stin pieces, and didst giveHim to be meat unto the folkin wilderness that live.

15. Thou clav'st the fountain and the flood,which did with streams abound:Thou dry'dst the mighty waters upunto the very ground.

16. Thine only is the day, O Lord,thine also is the night;And thou alone prepared hastthe sun and shining light.

17. By thee the borders of the earthwere settled ev'ry where:The summer and the winter bothby thee created were.

18. That th' enemy reproached hath,O keep it in record;And that the foolish people haveblasphem'd thy name, O Lord.
