Yea, and strange kings, by us subdued,
shall do like in those days;
For unto thee they shall present
their gifts of laud and praise,
He shall destroy the spearmen's ranks,
the calves and bulls of might,
And make them tribute pay, and daunt
all such as love to fight.
Then shall the lords of Egypt come,
and presents with them bring;
The Moors also stretch out their hands
to God, their Lord and King.
Therefore, ye kingdoms of the earth,
give praise unto the Lord;
Sing psalms to God with one consent,
thereto let all accord,
For he doth ride and ever did
above the heav'ns most bright,
And by his fearful thunder-claps
men may well know his might,
Therefore the strength of Israel
ascribe to God on high,
Whose might and pow'r doth far extend
above the cloudy sky.
O God, thy holiness and pow'r
is dread for evermore;
The God of Israel gives us strength,
therefore his Name adore.
