Your Maker's praise becomes your voice,
Great is your theme, your songs be new;
Sing of his name, his word, his ways,
His works of nature and of grace,
How wise and holy, just and true!
2 Behold, to earth's remotest ends,
His goodness shows, his truth extends;
His power the heavenly arches spread;
His word, with energy divine,
Bade starry hosts around them shine,
And light the circling heavens pervade.
3 His hand collects the flowing seas;
Those watery treasures know their place,
And fill the store-house of the deep:
He spake, and gave all nature birth;
And fires and seas, and heaven and earth
His everlasting orders keep.
4 Let mortals tremble and adore
A God of such resistless power,
Nor dare indulge their feeble rage:
Vain are your thoughts, and weak your hands,
But his eternal counsel stands,
And rules the world from age to age. Scripture: Psalm 33 Languages: English
