¶Lyrics / Text

Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them away: and like as wax melteth at the fire, so let the ungodly perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God: let them also be merry and joyful. O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou wentest through the wilderness, the earth shook, and the heav'ns dropped at the presence of God: ev'n as Mount Sinai also was moved at the presence of God, who is the God of Israel.
