Why fled the ocean? and why skip] 'd the mountains {
Why turn'd Jordan tow'rd his crystal fountains?
Shake, earth; and at the presence be aghast
Of Him that ever was, and aye shall last;
That glassy floods from rugged rocks can crush
And make soft rills from fiery flint-stones gush.

PSALM CXXXVI.

LET US, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for he is kind;
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

Let us blaze his name abroad,
For of gods, he is the God.
For his, &c.

O, let us his praises tell,

Who doth the wrathful tyrants quel
For his, &c.

Who, with his miracles, doth make
Amazed heaven and earth to shake.
For his, &c.

Who, by his wisdom, did create
The painted heavens so full of state.
For his, &c.

Who did the solid earth ordain
To rise above the watery plain.
For his, &c..

Who, by his all-commanding might,
Did fill the new-made world with ligh
For his, &c.

And caus'd the golden-tressed sun
All the day long his course to run
For his, &c.

The horned moon to shine by night,
Amongst her spangled sisters bright.
For his, &c.

He, with his thunder-clasping hand,
Smote the first-born of Egypt land.
For his, &c.

And, in despite of Pharaoh fell,
He brought from thence his Israel.
For his, &c.

The ruddy waves he cleft in twain
Of the Erythræan main.

For his, &c.

The floods stood still like walls of glass While the Hebrew bands did pass.

For his, &c.

But full soon they did devour

The tawny king with all his power.
For his, &c.

His chosen people he did bless,
In the wasteful wilderness.

For his, &c.

In bloody battle he brought down
Kings of prowess, and renown.
For his, &c.

He foil'd bold Seon and his host
That rul'd the Amorrean coast
For his, &c.

And large-limb'd Og he did subdue,
With all his over-hardy crew.
For his, &c.

And to his servant Israel,

He gave their land therein to dwell.
For his, &c.

He hath, with a piteous eye
Beheld us in our misery.
For his, &c. .

And freed us from the slavery
Of the invading enemy.
For his, &c.

All living creatures he doth feea,
And with full hand supplies their need
For his,, &c.

Let us therefore warble forth
His mighty majesty and worth.
For his, &c.

That his mansion hath on high
Above the reach of mortal eye.
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
