The Psalter ‎#208

208. Aspects of Divine Character

1 Among His people God is known,
Most glorious in His might and grace;
He makes Jerusalem His throne,
Her peaceful hills His dwelling-place.

2 When God the righteous judge appeared
To save the meek from wrong and shame,
The earth stood still and greatly feared;
Then forth from heav'n His sentence came.

3 The wrath of man shall praise the Lord,
Restrained by His almighty will;
Your vows to God the King record,
Your covenant made with Him fulfill.

4 Let all to Him their presents bring,
To Him Whom all the world should fear;
Ye kings and princes,own your King,
With rev'rence and with awe draw near.
