And in my name his horn and pow'r

25 His hand and pow'r shall reach afar,

I'll let it in the sea,
And his right hand established

shall in the rivers be.

thou art my God alone :
And he shall iay, Thou art the rock

of my salvation.

29 His feed I by my pow'r will make

for ever to endure:
And, as the days of heav'n, his throne

shall ftable be apd sure.
30 But if his children shall forsake

my laws, and go astray,
And in my judgments shall not walk,

but wander from my way: 31 If they my laws break, and do not

keep my commandements; 32 I'll visit then their faults with rods,

their fins with chastilements. 33 Yet I'll not take my love from him,

nor falle my promise make. ·34 My cov’oant I'll not break, nor change
