(\'Lord of Lords, and King eternal\')

Psalm 76

********

God is known in Judah\'s country

His name great in Israel

In [Jeru]Salem His tabernacle

Dwelling place in Zion all

There breaks He the arrows of bow

Enemies His power know

 

He breaks too the sword and the shield

In the battle, His foes yield

he more glorious, excellent

Than mountains where our feet went

The stout-hearted are spoiled, have slept

Their sleep, mighty guard not kept

 

At your rebuke, God, we hear, tell

How at exodus there fell

Chariots and horses drowned were

They your judgement did incur

They dead, set to rise no more for

You displayed your power sure

 

You, even you, are to be feared

Who unto you has here veered?

Who may stand when you are angry

You caused judgement [to] be heard, see

From heaven, the earth it did hear

And was still, it did you fear

 

When God did arise to judgement

To save the meek, penitent

Then earth feared you, and too as due

The wrath of main shall praise you

The remainder of wrath you shall

Restrain, your power ne\'er fail

 

Vow, and unto the LORD God pay

Your promises, what you say

Let all that be around Him bring

presents, and unto Him sing

Him that ought to be feared always

He Lord of eternal days

 

He shall cut off the spirit, He

Shall deal with the princes, see

He is terrible to the kings

Of the earth, tributes each brings

For He is Lord high over all

Yet near all who on Him call
