Only Version ❧ CM/CMD · 8·6·8·6 (D)
1 O praise the Lord, call on his name; ‘mong people show his facts. 2 Sing unto him, sing psalms to him: talk of all’s wondrous acts. 3 Let their hearts joy, that seek the Lord: boast in his holy name. 4 The Lord seek, and his strength: his face always seek ye the same.
5 Those admirable works that he hath done remember you: his wonders, and the judgments which do from his mouth issue. 6 O ye his servant Abr’ham’s seed: sons of choice Jacob ye. 7 He is the Lord our God: in all the earth his judgments be.
8 His covenant for evermore, and his commanded word, a thousand generations to he doth in mind record. 9 Which he with Abr’ham made, and his oath 10 to Isaac. Made it fast, a law to Jacob: and Isr’el a cov’nant aye to last.
11 He said, I’ll give thee Canaan’s land: by lot, heirs to be there. 12 When few, yea very few in count and strangers in it they were. 13 When they did from one nation unto another pass: when from one kingdom their goings to other people was,
14 He suffer’d none to do them wrong: kings check’d he for their sake: 15 Touch not mine ‘nointed ones; none ill unto my prophets make. 16 He call’d for famine on the land, all staff of bread brake he. 17 Before them sent a man: Joseph sold for a slave to be.
18 Whose feet they did with fetters hurt: in iron his soul did lie. 19 Until the time that his word came: the Lord’s word did him try. 20 The king the people’s ruler sent, loos’d him and let him go. 21 He made him Lord of all his house: of all’s wealth ruler too:
22 At’s will to bind his peers: and teach 23 his ancients’ skill. Then came Isr’el to Egypt: and Jacob sojourn’d i’th land of Ham. 24 He much increas’d his folk: and made them stronger than their foe. 25 Their heart he turn’d his folk to hate to’s servants crafts to show.
26 Moses his servant he did send: and Aaron whom he chose. 27 His signs and wonders them amongst, they in Ham’s land disclose. 28 He darkness sent, and made it dark: nor did they’s word gainsay. 29 He turn’d their waters into blood: and he their fish did slay.
30 Great store of frogs their land brought forth in chambers of their kings. 31 He spake, there came mix’d swarms, and lice in all their coasts he brings. 32 He gave them hail for rain: and in their land fires flame did make. 33 And smote their vines and their fig trees: and their coast trees he brake.
34 He spake, and then the locusts came: and caterpillars, such the number of them was as none could reckon up how much, 35 And ate all their land’s herbs: and did fruit of their ground devour. 36 All first born in their land he smote: the chief of all their power.
37 With silver also and with gold he them from thence did bring: and among all their tribes there was not any one weakling. 38 Egypt was glad when out they went: for on them fell their dread. 39 A cloud for cov’ring, and a fire to light the night he spread.
40 They ask’d, and he brought quails: did them with heav’n’s bread satisfy. 41 He op’d the rock and waters flow’d: floods ran in places dry. 42 For on his holy promise, he and’s servant Abr’ham thought. 43 With joy his people, and with songs forth he his chosen brought.
44 He of the heathen people did the land on them bestow: the labour of the people they inherited also: 45 To this intent that his statutes they might observe always: also that they his laws might keep. Do ye Jehovah praise.
