Psalms 68:8-16 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

8. Then at God's presence shook the earth,then drops from heaven fell;This Sinai shook before the Lord,the God of Israel.

9. O God, thou to thine heritagedidst send a plenteous rain,Whereby thou, when it weary was,didst it refresh again.

10. Thy congregation then did maketheir habitation there:Of thine own goodness for the poor,O God, thou didst prepare.

11. The Lord himself did give the word,the word abroad did spread;Great was the company of themthe same who published.

12. Kings of great armies foiled were,and forced to flee away;And women, who remained at home,did distribute the prey.

13. Though ye have lien among the pots,like doves ye shall appear,Whose wings with silver, and with goldwhose feathers covered are.

14. When there th' Almighty scatter'd kings,like Salmon's snow 'twas white.

15. God's hill is like to Bashan hill,like Bashan hill for height.

16. Why do ye leap, ye mountains high?this is the hill where GodDesires to dwell; yea, God in itfor aye will make abode.
