Pàgina 249 - Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 8.
Pàgina 247 - Thou preparedst room before it, And didst cause it to take deep root, And it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, And her branches unto the river.
