¹ Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lorde: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.² Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,³ Praise ye the Lord: for the Lorde is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.⁴ For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

⁵ For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.⁶ Whatsoeuer pleased the Lorde, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.⁷ He bringeth vp the cloudes fro the ends of the earth, & maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.⁸ He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.⁹ He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.¹⁰ He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:¹¹ As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, & all the kingdomes of Canaan:¹² And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.¹³ Thy Name, O Lorde, endureth for euer: O Lorde, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.¹⁴ For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

¹⁵ The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.¹⁶ They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.¹⁷ They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.¹⁸ They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.¹⁹ Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.²⁰ Praise the Lorde, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.²¹ Praised bee the Lorde out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
