Jubilate Deo. Ps.66.T.S.

He exhorteth to praise the Lord in his wonderful works, he sets forth the power of God to affray rebels, and showeth God’s mercy to Israel, to provoke all men to hear and praise his name.

Sing this as the 18 Psalm.
The first part The second part
Ye men on earth in God rejoice,
with praise set forth his name:
 
2 Extol his might with heart and voice,
give glory to the same.
 
3 How wonderful (O Lord) say ye,
in all thy works thou art?
Thy foes for fear do seek to thee,
full sore against their heart.
 
4 All men that dwell the earth throughout,
do praise the name of God,
The laud thereof the world about
is showed and set abroad:
 
5 All folk come forth, behold and see
what things the Lord hath wrought:
Mark well the wondrous works that he
for man to pass hath brought.
 
6 He laid the sea like heaps on high,
therein a way they had:
On foot to pass both fair and dry,
whereof their hearts were glad.
 
7 His might doth rule the world alway,
his eyes all things behold:
And such as would him disobey,
by him shall be controlled.
 
8 Ye people give unto our God
due laud and thanks always:
With joyful voice declare abroad,
and sing unto him praise.
 
9 Which doth endue our souls with life,
and it preserve withal:
He stayeth our feet, so that no strife
can make us slip or fall.
 
10 The Lord doth prove our deeds with fire,
if that they will abide:
As workmen do when they desire
to have their metals tried.
 
11 Although thou suffer us so long
in prison to be cast:
And there with chains and fetters strong
to lie in bondage fast.
12 Although I say thou suffer men
on us to ride and reign:
Though we through fire and water run
of very grief and pain,
Yet sure thou dost of thy good grace
dispose it to the best:
And bring’st us out into a place
to live in wealth and rest.
 
13 Unto thy house resort will I,
to offer and to pray:
And there I will myself apply
my vows to thee to pay.
 
14 The vows that with my mouth I spake
in all my grief and smart:
The vows I say which I did make
in dolor of my heart.
 
15 Burnt offerings I will give to thee
of oxen fat and Rams:
None other sacrifice shall be,
of bullocks, Goats and lambs.
 
16 Come forth and hearken here full soon,
all ye that fear the Lord:
What he for my poor soul hath done,
to you I will record.
 
17 Full oft I call upon his grace,
this mouth to him doth cry:
And thou my tongue make speed apace,
to praise him by and by.
 
18 But if I feel my heart within,
in wicked works rejoice
Or if I have delight to sin
God will not hear my voice.
 
19 But surely God my voice hath heard,
and what I do require:
My prayer he doth well regard,
and granteth my desire.
 
20 All praise to him that hath not put,
nor cast me out of mind:
Nor yet his mercy from me shut,
which I did ever find.
