Pause. 6 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong; Crown him, ye nations, in your song; His wondrous names and powers rehearse, His honours shall enrich your verse. 7 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms; How terrible is God in arms! In Israel are his mercies known, Israel is his peculiar throne. 8 Proclaim him king, pronounce him blest; He’s your defence, your joy, your rest: When terrors rise, and nations faint, God is the strength of every saint.

The hill on which Jehovah dwells Is glorious more than they. 5 ’Twas Zion’s king that stopp'd the breath Of captains and their bands; The men of might slept fast in death, That quells their warlike hands. 6 At thy rebuke, O Jacob’s God, Both horse and chariot fell: Who knows the terrors of thy rod? Thy vengeance who can tell? 7 What power can stand before thy sight When once thy wrath appears? When heaven shines round with dreadful light, The earth adores and fears. 8 When God in his own sovereign ways Comes down to save th' opprest, The wrath of men shall work his praise, And he’ll restrain the rest. 9 [Vows to the Lord, and tribute bring. Ye princes, fear his frown: His terrors shake the proudest king, And smite his armies down. 10 The thunder of his sharp rebuke Our haughty foes shall feel; For Jacob’s God hath not forsook, But dwells in Zion still.] Scripture: Psalm 76
