1
Sing halelujah! Laud aloud
Jehouah's holy name.
2
O yee his servants, in his house
Who stand, his prayse proclame.
3
Yee in his howsses courts who stand,
Hymns to the highest raise;
For good our God is; to his name
'Tis pleasant to giue prayse.
4
Of Jacob, for himself made choise
Of Israell hath hee,
His treasure, his peculiar flock
And heritage to bee.
5
That great our God's all gods above,
To me is manifest;
6
In heavens, in earth and in the deeps,
Who doth what lyks him best.
7
Hee from earth's ends doth cause the clouds
Wnsensible ascend,
With which, in raine again resolv'd,
He lightnings forth doth send.
Hee tempests from his treasures
Of rageing winds doth call.
8
His mightie hand, from man to beast,
Smote Egipt's first-borne all.
9
Midst thee, hee signes and wonders
O Egypt, on thy king
10
And all his traine; He nations great
Did to destruction bring.
11
Mongst mightie kings hee Sihon slew,
Whom Amorits obey'd,
With Ogh, who over Bashan bounds
The regall scepter swey'd,
12
With Canaan's kingdomes all. Their land
For Israel declaird
Ane heritage, by lote and line,
Hee 'mongst his people shaird.
13
Thy name, O Lord, endures for ay,
And thy memoriall
From generation remain
To generation shall.
14
For judge his people will the Lord,
And (vnto mercie bent)
Concerning those that him do serve,
Hee will himself repent.
15
Men's works the heathen's idols are,
Of silver and of gold.
16
A mouth yet speek not, eyes they haue,
Yet nothing can behold.
17
To them are ears, are mouths, yet heare,
Yet breath they not at all;
18
Such are their forgers, such who trust
Or do before them fall.
19
O House of Israell, blesse the Lord:
O Aron's House him blesse:
20
O House of Levi, blesse the Lord;
Who feare the Lord him blesse.
