Only Version ❧ LM · 8·8·8·8
1 The Lord praise, praise ye the Lord’s name: the Lord’s servants O praise him ye. 2 That in the Lord’s house stand: the same i’th courts of our God’s house who be. 3 The Lord praise, for the Lord is good: for sweet it’s to his name to sing. 4 For Jacob to him chose hath God: and Isr’el for his precious thing.
5 For that the Lord is great I know: and over all gods, our Lord keeps. 6 All that he wills, the Lord doth do: in heaven, earth, seas, and all deeps. 7 The vapours he doth them constrain, forth from the ends of th’ earth to rise; he maketh lightning for the rain: the wind brings from his treasuries.
8 Of Egypt he the firstborn smit: and that of man, of beasts also. 9 Sent wondrous signs midst thee, Egypt: on Pharaoh, on all’s servants too. 10 Who smote great nations, slew great kings: 11 Slew Sihon king of th’ Amorites, Og also one of Bashan’s kings: all kingdoms of the Canaanites:
12 And gave their land an heritage: his people Isr’el’s lot to fall. 13 For aye thy name, Lord, through each age, O Lord, is thy memorial. 14 For his folk’s judge, the Lord is he: and of his servants he’ll repent. 15 The heathen’s idols silver be, and gold: men’s hands did them invent.
16 Mouths have they, yet they never spake: eyes have they, but they do not see: 17 Ears have they, but no hearing take: and in their mouth no breathings be. 18 They that them make, have their likeness: that trust in them so is each one. 19 The Lord, O house of Isr’el bless; the Lord bless, thou house of Aaron.
20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord: who fear the Lord, bless ye the Lord. 21 From Sion blessed be the Lord; who dwells at Salem praise the Lord.
