Laduate nomen. Ps.135.N.

He exhoreth all the faithful to praise God for his marvelous works and graces, wherewith he hath declareth his Majesty, to the confusion of all Idolaters.

The first part The second part
O praise the Lord, praise him,
praise him, praise him with one accord:
O praise him still, all ye that be
the servants of the Lord,
 
2 O praise him ye that stand
and be in the house of the Lord:
ye of his court and of his house
praise him with one accord.
 
3 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,
sing praises to his name:
It is a comely and good thing,
always to do the same.
 
4 For why? the Lord hath chose Jacob,
his very one we see:
So hath he chosen Israel,
his treasure for to be.
 
5 For this I know and am right sure,
the Lord is very great:
He is indeed above all Gods,
most easy to entreat.
 
6 For whatsoever pleased him,
all that full well he wrought,
In heaven, in earth, and in the sea,
which he hath framed of naught.
 
7 He lifts up clouds even from the earth
he makes lightning and rain:
He bringeth forth the winds also,
he made nothing in vain.
 
8 He smote the firstborn of each thing
in Egypt that took rest,
He spared there no living thing,
the man nor yet the beast.
 
9 He hath in thee showed wonders great,
O Egypt void of vaunts,
On Pharaoh thy cursed King
and his severe servants.
 
10 He smote then many nations,
and did great acts and things
He slew the great and mightiest,
and chiefest of their Kings.
 
11 Sihon King of the Ammorites,
and Og King of Bashan:
He slew also the kingdoms all,
that were of Canaan.
 
12 And gave their land to Israel,
an heritage we see:
To Israel his own people,
an heritage to be.
13 Thy name O Lord shall still endure,
and thy memorial
Throughout all generations,
that are or ever shall.
 
14 The Lord will surely now avenge
his people all indeed:
And to his servants he will show
favor in time of need.
 
15 The Idols of the heathen are made,
in all their coasts and lands:
Of silver and of gold be they
the works even of men’s hands,
 
16 They have their mouths and cannot speak
and eyes and have no sight:
 
17 They eke have ears and hear nothing,
their mouths be breathless quite.
 
18 Wherefore all they are like to them,
that do so set them forth,
And likewise those that trust in them,
or think they be ought worth.
 
19 O all ye house of Israel,
see that ye praise the Lord:
And ye that be of Aaron’s house,
praise him with one accord.
 
20 And ye that be of Levite’s house,
praise ye likewise the Lord:
And all that stand in awe of him,
praise him with one accord.
 
21 And out of Zion sound his praise,
the great praise of the Lord,
Which dwelleth in Jerusalem
praise him with one accord.
