- 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.
