God

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most mighty.

With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, proceed prosperously, and reign. Because of truth and meekness and justice: and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.

Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.

Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which

And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.

Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.

They shall remember thy name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.

Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.

God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.

Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.

The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.

Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,

Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.

Unto the end, for the sons of Core.

He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.

He hath chosen for us his inheritance, the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.

God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.
