Th' eternal Lord doth reign as king, let all the people quake; He sits between the cherubims, let th' earth be mov'd and shake.
God reigneth, let the earth be glad, and isles rejoice each one.
His lightnings lighten did the world; earth saw, and shook throughout.
The Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he with majesty most bright; His works do shew him cloth'd to be, and girt about with might. The world is also stablished, that it cannot depart.
Hear, Isr'el's Shepherd! like a flock thou that dost Joseph guide; Shine forth, O thou that dost between the cherubims abide.
Among the heathen say, God reigns; the world shall stedfastly Be fix'd from moving; he shall judge the people righteously.
And he upon a cherub rode, and thereon he did fly; Yea, on the swift wings of the wind his flight was from on high.

They know not, nor will understand; in darkness they walk on: All the foundations of the earth out of their course are gone.
In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's and in Manasseh's sight, O come for our salvation; stir up thy strength and might.
In beauty of his holiness, O do the Lord adore; Likewise let all the earth throughout tremble his face before.
