- Ye people all with one accord,
- clap hands and eke rejoice:
- Be glad and sing unto the Lord
- with sweet and pleasant voice.
-
- 2 For high the Lord and dreadful is
- with wonders manifold:
- A mighty King he is also,
- in all the earth extolled.
-
- 3 The people he shall make to be,
- unto our bondage thrall:
- And underneath our feet he shall,
- the nations make to fall.
-
- 4 For us the heritage he chose,
- which we possess alone:
- The flourishing worship of Jacob,
- his well beloved one.
-
- 5 Our God ascendeth up on high,
- with joy and pleasant noise:
- The Lord goeth up above the sky,
- with trumpets royal voice.
-
- 6 Sing praises to our God, sing praise,
- sing praises to our King:
-
- 7 For God is king of all the earth,
- all skillful praises sing.
-
- 8 God on the heathen reigns, and sits
- upon his holy throne:
-
- 9 The Princes of the people have,
- them joined everyone:
- To Abraham’s people, for our God
- which is exalteth high:
- As with a buckler doth defend,
- the earth continually.
