4. That I thy seed establish shallfor ever to remain,And will to generations allthy throne build and maintain.

5. The praises of thy wonders, Lord,the heavens shall express;And in the congregationof saints thy faithfulness.

6. For who in heaven with the Lordmay once himself compare?Who is like God among the sonsof those that mighty are?

7. Great fear in meeting of the saintsis due unto the Lord;And he of all about him shouldwith rev'rence be ador'd.

8. O thou that art the Lord of hosts,what Lord in mightinessIs like to thee? who compass'd roundart with thy faithfulness.

9. Ev'n in the raging of the seathou over it dost reign;And when the waves thereof do swell,thou stillest them again.

10. Rahab in pieces thou didst break,like one that slaughter'd is;And with thy mighty arm thou hastdispers'd thine enemies.

11. The heav'ns are thine, thou for thine ownthe earth dost also take;The world, and fulness of the same,thy pow'r did found and make.

12. The north and south from thee alonetheir first beginning had;Both Tabor mount and Hermon hillshall in thy name be glad.

13. Thou hast an arm that's full of pow'r,thy hand is great in might;And thy right hand exceedinglyexalted is in height.

14. Justice and judgment of thy throneare made the dwelling-place;Mercy, accompany'd with truth,shall go before thy face.

15. O greatly bless'd the people arethe joyful sound that know;In brightness of thy face, O Lord,they ever on shall go.

16. They in thy name shall all the dayrejoice exceedingly;And in thy righteousness shall theyexalted be on high.

17. Because the glory of their strengthdoth only stand in thee;And in thy favour shall our hornand pow'r exalted be.

18. For God is our defence; and heto us doth safety bring:The Holy One of Israelis our almighty King.
