Biblical Reference

'Igzee'abihier, let Jah be praised Psalm 68:4 - Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
Niguse Negest, let Jah be praised
Medhanie 'Alem, let Jah be praised
Let Him be praised, let Him be praised
You better let Him be praised
 
He watereth the hills from His chambers
And the earth is satisfied, so satisfied
Psalm 104:13 - He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
He maketh the grass to grow for animals
Jah made the herb for man, He made the herb for man
Jah made the herb for man
Psalm 104:14 - He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Fret not Thyself because of evil-doers
Neither be Thou envious against the workers of iniquity
For they shall soon be cut down, cut down like grass
And they shall wither like corn
Psalm 37:1-2 - Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Proverbs 24:19 - Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked:
Let Jah arise, and let all His enemies be scattered
Let them that hate Jah now scat up, shut up, butt up and flat up
As the smoke was driven away, Jah,
Drive them away as the wax melted
Let them be melted Jah-Jah
Psalm 68:1-2 - Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
'Igzee'abihier, let Jah be praised
Medhanie 'Alem, let Jah be praised
Niguse Negest, let Jah be praised
You better let Him be praised, let Him be praised
You better let Him be praised, I said let Him be praised
 
Ahh...lightning
Earthquake
Brimstone
For the fire
I said lightning
Brimstone and fire
Psalm 11:6 - Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
'Igzee'abihier
Weakheart scat up, shut up, flat up and butt out
I feel it
Weakheart feel it
Kill them dead before them spread...
