¹ Praise ye the Lord, Praise ye the Name of the Lord: prayse him, O ye seruants of the Lord. ² Yee that stand in the House of the Lord: in the courts of the house of our God. ³ Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name, for it is pleasant. ⁴ For the Lord hath chosen Iacob vnto himselfe: and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

⁵ For I know that the Lord is great: and that our Lord is aboue all gods. ⁶ Whatsoeuer the Lord pleased, that did he in heauen and in earth: in the Seas, and all deepe places. ⁷ Hee causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth, he maketh lightnings for the raine: he bringeth the winde out of his treasuries. ⁸ Who smote the first borne of Egypt: both of man and beast. ⁹ Who sent tokens and woonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt: vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants. ¹⁰ Who smote great nations: and slew mightie kings: ¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan: and all the kingdomes of Canaan, ¹² And gaue their land for an heritage: an heritage vnto Israel his people. ¹³ Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: and thy memoriall, O Lord, throughout all generations. ¹⁴ For the Lord will iudge his people: and he will repent himselfe concerning his seruants.

¹⁵ The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde: the worke of mens hands. ¹⁶ They haue mouthes, but they speake not: eyes haue they, but they see not: ¹⁷ They haue eares, but they heare not: neither is there any breath in their mouthes. ¹⁸ They that make them are like vnto them: so is euery one that trusteth in them. ¹⁹ Blesse the Lord, O house of Israel: blesse the Lord, O house of Aaron. ²⁰ Blesse the Lord, O house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, blesse the Lord. ²¹ Blessed be the Lord out of Zion; which dwelleth at Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
