1 Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
Jehovah praise will I:
i’th private meetings of th’ upright,
and public assembly.
2 Great are the Lords works: sought of all
that in them have pleasure.
3 Comely and glorious is his work:
aye doth his justice ‘dure.
4 To be remembred he hath made
his doings marvelous:
full of compassion is the Lord
as well as gracious.
5 Meat hath he given unto them
that fearers of him be:
he evermore his covenant
doth keep in memory:
6 The power of his works he did
unto his people show:
that he the heathens heritage
upon them might bestow.

7 Both verity and judgment are
the working of his hands:
yea very faithful also are
each one of his commands.
8 For ever and for evermore
they stand in stableness:
yea they are done in verity
also in uprightness.
9 Redemption to his folk he sent,
that covenant of his
for aye he hath ordain’d: holy
and reverend his Name is.
10 Of wisdom the beginning is
Jehovah’s fear: all they
that do his will have prudence good:
his praise endures for aye.
