1 Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heartI will God's praise declare,Where the assemblies of the justand congregations are.
2 The whole works of the Lord our Godare great above all measure,Sought out they are of ev'ry onethat doth therein take pleasure.
3 His work most honourable is,most glorious and pure,And his untainted righteousnessfor ever doth endure.
4 His works most wonderful he hathmade to be thought upon:The Lord is gracious,and he is full of compassion.
5 He giveth meat unto all thosethat truly do him fear;And evermore his covenanthe in his mind will bear.
6 He did the power of his worksunto his people show,When he the heathen's heritageupon them did bestow.
7 His handy-works are truth and right;all his commands are sure:
8 And, done in truth and uprightness,they evermore endure.
9 He sent redemption to his folk;his covenant for ayeHe did command: holy his nameand rev'rend is alway.
10 Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:good understanding theyHave all that his commands fulfill:his praise endures for aye.
