The Psalter ‎#266

266. The Holiness of God

1 God is King forever: let the nations tremble;
Throned above the cherubim, by all the earth adored;
He is great in Zion, high above all peoples;
Praise Him with fear, for holy is the Lord.

2 Merciful as mighty, He delights in justice,
For He reigns in righteousness and rules in equity;
Worship and exalt Him, bowing down before Him,
Perfect in pow'r and holiness is He.

3 Holy men of old in Him alone confided;
He forgave their sins although they felt His chast'ning rod;
In His holy temple worship and adore Him,
Faithful and holy is the Lord our God.
