A New Version of the Psalms of David ‎#47

47. O all ye Monarchs of the Earth

1. O All ye Monarchs of the Earth,
Unto Jehovah give,
Glory, and Pow'r, to God ascribe,
From whom ye yours receive.
2. Give to the Lord, the Honours due
Unto his glorious Name;
Within his sacred Courts bow down
And celebrate his Fame.

3. God's Voice asunder bursts the Clouds,
And down the Waters show'r;
The God of Glory thunders loud;
Great Waters own his Pow'r.

4. Resistless Pow'r attends his Voice;
With Majesty he speaks:
5. Jehovah's Voice the Cedars rends,
Proud Leb'non's Cedars breaks.

6. He tears them from their Roots, and makes
Them, like a Calf, to skip;
Like a young Unicorn, the Mounts,
Leb'non, and Syrion, leap.

7. Jehovah's Voice strikes Flames of Fire;
And Light'nings blaze around.
8. The Desert trembles at the Roar;
Ev'n Kadesh, with the Sound.

9. The fright'ned Hinds then cast their Young;
He lays the Forest bare:
His Glory in his House: they praise.
Which Storms themselves declare.
1O. The Lord sits sov'rain o'er the Floods;
And reigns forever King.
11 . The Lord will give his People Strength;
Them blessed Peace will bring.
