¹ Prayse ye the Lorde, prayse ye the name of God: prayse it ye seruauntes of God.² Ye that stande in the house of God: in the courtes of the house of our Lord,³ Prayse ye the Lorde, for God is gratious: sing psalmes vnto his name, for it is pleasaunt.⁴ For the Lorde hath chosen Iacob vnto hym selfe: and Israel for his owne possession.

⁵ For I knowe that God is great: and that our Lorde is aboue all gods.⁶ God doth whatsoeuer pleaseth hym in heauen and in earth: in the sea, and in all deepe places.⁷ He causeth cloudes to ascende from the lowest part of the earth: he maketh it to lighten when it rayneth, he bringeth wyndes out of his treasure houses.⁸ He smote the first borne of Egypt: aswell of beast as of man.⁹ He sent tokens and wonders into the mydst of thee O Egypt: against Pharao and all his seruauntes.¹⁰ He smote many nations: and slue mightie kinges.¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan: and all the kingdomes of Chanaan.¹² And he gaue their lande for an inheritaunce: euen for an heritaunce to Israel his people.¹³ Thy name O God endureth for euer: there wil be a remembraunce of thee O God, from one generation to another.¹⁴ For God wyll iudge his people: and he will be pacified [beyng displeased] with his seruauntes.

¹⁵ As for the idols of the Heathen they are but siluer and golde: the worke of mens handes.¹⁶ They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes but they see not.¹⁷ They haue eares and they heare not: yea there is no breath in their mouth.¹⁸ They that make them are lyke vnto them: [and] euery one that putteth his trust in them.¹⁹ Blesse God ye the house of Israel: blesse God ye the house of Aaron.²⁰ Blesse God ye the house of Leui: ye that feare God, blesse God.²¹ Blessed be God out of Sion: who dwelleth at Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.
