[1]

Praise ye the Lord: for it is good

praise to our God to sing:
For it is pleasant, and to praise
it is a comely thing.

2

God doth build up Jerusalem;

and he it is alone
That the disperst of Israel
doth gather into one.

3

Those, that are broken in their hearts

and grieved in their mindes,
He healeth, and their painful wounds
he tenderly up-bindes.

4

He counts the number of the stars,

he names them every one.

5

Great is our Lord, & of great power:

his wisdom search can none.

6

The Lord lifts up the meek, & casts

the wicked to the ground.

7

Sing to the Lord, & give him thanks

on harp his praises sound:

8

Who covereth the heaven with clouds

who for the earth below
Prepareth rain, who maketh grasse
upon the mountains grow.

9

He gives the beast his food, he feeds

the ravens young, that cry.

10

His pleasure not in horses strength

nor in mans legs doth ly:

11

But in all those, that do him fear,

the Lord doth pleasure take,
In those that to his mercy do
by hope themselves betake.

11

The Lord praise, O Jerusalem;

Zion, thy God confesse:

13

For thy gates bars he maketh strong

thy sons in thee doth blesse.

14

He in thy borders maketh peace:

with fine wheat filleth thee.

15

he sends forth his command on earth

his words runs speedilie.

16

Hoar frost like ashes, scattereth he:

like wool he snow doth give:

17

Like morsels casteth forth his yee;

who in its cold can live?

18

He sendeth forth his mighty word,

and melteth them again:
His winds he makes to blow, and then
the waters flow amain.

19

The doctrine of his holy word

to Jacob he doth show;
His statutes and his judgements he
gives Israel to know.

20

To any nation never he

such favour did afford:
For they his judgemēts have not known
O do ye praise the Lord.
