Cantate Domino.
SING, and let the song be new, | |
| Unto him that never endeth: | |
| Sing all earth, and all in you: | |
| Sing to God and blesse his name; | |
| Of the help, the health he sendeth, | 5 |
| Day by day new ditties frame. | |
| |
| Make each country know his worth: | |
| Of his actes the wondred story | |
| Paint unto each people forth: | |
| For Jehova greate alone, | 10 |
| All the gods for awe and glory | |
| Farre above doth hold his throne. | |
| |
| For but idolls what are they, | |
| Whom besides mad earth adoreth? | |
| He the skies in frame did lay: | 15 |
| Grace and Honor are his guides; | |
| Majesty his temple storeth; | |
| Might in guard about him bides. | |
| |
| Kindreds come, Jehova give, | |
| O give Jehova all together | 20 |
| Force and fame, whereso you live: | |
| Give his name the glory fitt; | |
| Take your offrings; get you thither | |
| Where he doth enshrined sitt. | |
| |
| Goe, adore him in the place | 25 |
| Where his pompe is most displaied: | |
| Earth, O goe with quaking pace; | |
| Goe, proclaime Jehova king: | |
| Staylesse world shall now be staied; | |
| Righteous doome his rule shall bring. | 30 |
| |
| Starry roofe, and earthy floore, | |
| Sea, and all thy widenesse yieldeth, | |
| Now rejoyce and leape and rore: | |
| Leavy infants of the wood, | |
| Fieldes and all that on you feedeth, | 35 |
| Daunce, O daunce at such a good. | |
| |
| For Jehova cometh, loe! | |
| Loe! to raigne Jehova cometh; | |
| Under whome you all shall goe: | |
| He the world shall rightly guide; | 40 |
| Truly, as a king becometh, | |
| For the people’s weale provide. | |
