1 To all that now in Jewry dwell,
the Lord is clearly known:
His Name is great in Israel,
a people of his owne.
2 At Salem he his tents hath picht
to tarrie there a space:
In Sion eke he hath delight
to make his dwelling place.
3 And there he brake both shaft and bow,
the sword, the speare, and shield:
And brake the ray to overthrow
in battel on the field.
4 Thou art more worthy honour Lord,
more might in thee doth lie,
Than in the strongest of the world,
that rob on mountaines high.
5 But now the proud are spoil'd through thee
and they are faln on sleep:
Through men of war no help can be,
themselves they could not keep.
6 At thy rebuke, O Jacobs God,
when thou didst them reprove:
As halfe on sleep their chariots stood,
no horseman once did move.
7 For thou art dreadfull, Lord, indeed,
what man the courage hath
To bide thy sight, and doth not dread
when thou art in thy wrath?
8 When thou dost make thy judgements heard
from heaven through the ground,
Then all the earth full sore afraid,
in silence shall be found.
9 And that when thou O God dost stand
in judgement for to speak,
To save th'afflicted of the land,
on earth that are full weak.
10 The fury that in man doth raigne
shall tarrie unto thy praise:
Hereafter (Lord) do thou restraine
their wrath and threats alwaies.
l1 Make vows, and pay them to our God
ye folk that nigh him be:
Bring gifts all ye that dwell abroad,
for dreadfull sure is he.
12 For he doth take both life and might
from Princes great of birth:
And full of terrour is his sight
to all the Kings on earth.
