Bay Psalm Book (1st book printed in English America : Stephen Daye printer at Cambridge, Massachusetts Colony) in 1640

 PSALM xCix

Psalme 99

Jehovah 'tis that reigns_,

let people be in dread:

'midst Cherubs he remained,

th'earth let it be moved.

Jehovah is

in Sion great,

in highnes_ set

he is likewise

Above all the people.

Let them confesse_ thy Name

so great and terrible:

for holy is the same.

The King his might

doth love justice:

thou dost 'stablish

things that be right:

Judgement thou dost, also

in Iacob righteousness.

The Lord our God doe you

set up in his highnes,

and worship yee

his footstoole at:

by reason that holy is hee.

Moses also Aron

among his Priests, likewise

Samuell all those among

that to his name send cryes:

called they have the Lord upon,

and he alone them answer gave.

He unto them did speake_ in

th' cloudy pillar them;

they kept his records, eke

his ordinance he gave them.

Lord, thou who art our God

didst hear, and didst answers

to them impart.

Thou wast a God pard'ning them,

although thou vengeance upon

their works didst bring.

The Lord our God advance,

and woe yee downe_

at's holy hill: for our God's the Holy-One!
