Psalm 95:2. S. M. A psalm before sermon.

← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 Come, sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing; Jehovah is the sovereign God, The universal King.

He form'd the deeps unknown; He gave the seas their bound; The watery worlds are all his own, And all the solid ground.

3 Come, worship at his throne, Come bow before the Lord: We are his works and not our own; He form'd us by his word.

4 To-day attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod; Come like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God.

5 But if your ears refuse The language of his grace, And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jews, That unbelieving race;

6 The Lord in vengeance drest Will lift his hand and swear, "You that despise my promis'd rest, "Shall have no portion there."
