P74b. For certainly God is my king

12 For certainly God is my king,
even from the times of old,
working in midst of all the earth
salvation manifold.
13 The sea, by thy great power, to part
asunder thou didst make;
and thou the dragons’ heads, O Lord,
didst in the waters break.

14 The heads of the leviathan
thou brakest, and didst give
him to be meat unto the folk
that in the desert live.
15 Thou clav’st the fountain and the flood;
didst dry the rivers great;
16 both day and night are thine; thou didst
the light and sun create.
17 By thee the borders of the earth
were settled everywhere:
the summer and the winter both
by thee created were.
