English text

Lord let thy just Decrees the King
in all his Ways direct;
And let his Son throughout his Reign
thy righteous Laws respect.

Then Hills and Mountains shall bring forth
the happy Fruits of Peace
Which all the Land shall own to be
the Work of Righteousness.

In ev'ry Heart thy awful Fear
shall then be rooted fast,
As long as Sun and Moon endure,
or Time itself shall last.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
the God whom we adore,
Be Glory, as it was is now
and shall be evermore.
