Then, as if paraphrasing the expression, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool," [3156] he adds:--

"But in great heaven, He is seated firm

Upon a throne of gold, and 'neath His feet

The earth. His right hand round the ocean's bound

He stretches; and the hills' foundations shake

To the centre at His wrath, nor can endure

His mighty strength. He all celestial is,

And all things finishes upon the earth.

He the Beginning, Middle is, and End.

But Thee I dare not speak. In limbs

And mind I tremble. He rules from on high."

[3156] Isa. lxvi. 1.
