Majestic Marvellings

orchidee



Tune: Doncaster

('Put thou thy trust in God')

Psalm 93

********

The Lord reigns, He is clothed

With majesty bestowed

Clothed with strength, He has girded self

By His own power, wealth

 

The world is established

On sure foundation pitched

So it cannot be moved, shaken

'Tis the dwelling of men* (*mankind)

 

The Lord's throne too it be

Established firm, truly

He the eternal Lord, He e'er

Lives, and His reign fails ne'er

 

The floods their voice do raise

And cause scenes of amaze

The Lord on high is mightier

Than all waters strong stir

 

His words are very sure

And He be holy, pure

Holiness adorns His temple

People, come praise Him all

    • orchidee

      Thanks SB.

    • arqios

      No mouse to frighten underneath that throne, but it runs off to play with the lion and the lamb 🙏🏻🕊👍🏻

      • orchidee

        Thank you A. There's Scriptures of the lion and lamb playing together, or similar animals, in what is described in commentaries as 'an idyll of peace and plenty'.

        • arqios

          Isaiah 11, I believe it is. Depending on who numbered them, chapters and verses.

          • orchidee

            Yes, I think so.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Well done, Orchi! 🌹👏

            • orchidee

              Thank you T. Being anthropomorphic - attributing human qualities to non-human things - and a long word there too(!), a couple of Psalms are written as though the floods have a voice and hands too. And trees clapping their hands also!

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Indeed they are! I love those parts too…they totally give a voice to that which is otherwise voiceless. Deep and powerful stuff!

                • orchidee

                  I jump - temporarily - from the sensible (the sublime?) to the nutty (the ridiculous?) some days! lol.

                  Lovely Orchi!

                  • orchidee

                    Thank you Bella. Hope you've no floods there!
