Translation by Bible or other Sacred Texts
Que Dieu se monstre seulement
Language: French (Français) after the Latin
Que Dieu se monstre seulement Et on verra soudainement Abandonner la place Le camp des ennemis espars Et ses haineux de toutes parts Fuïr devant sa face. Dieu, Dieu les fera tous enfuïr Ainsi qu’on void esvanouïr Un amas de fumée : Comme la cire aupres du feu Ainsi des meschans devant Dieu La force est consumée. Cependant devant le Seigneur Les justes chantent son honneur, En toute esjouïssance. Et de la grand’ joye qu’ils ont De voir les meschans qui s’en vont, Sautent à grand’ puissance. Chantez du Seigneur le renom, Psalmodiez, louez son Nom, Et sa gloire immortelle, Car sur la nue il est porté, Et d’un nom plein de majesté, L’Eternel il s’appelle.
