¹ Prayse ye the Lorde, for it is good to sing vnto our God: for it is a pleasant thing, and praise is comely.² The Lord doth builde vp Ierusalem, and gather together the dispersed of Israel.³ He healeth those that are broken in heart, and bindeth vp their sores.⁴ He counteth the nomber of the starres, and calleth them all by their names.⁵ Great is our Lord, and great is his power: his wisdome is infinite.⁶ The Lord relieueth the meeke, and abaseth the wicked to the ground.⁷ Sing vnto the Lord with prayse: sing vpon the harpe vnto our God,⁸ Which couereth the heauen with cloudes, and prepareth raine for the earth, and maketh the grasse to growe vpon the mountaines:⁹ Which giueth to beasts their foode, and to the yong rauens that crie.¹⁰ He hath not pleasure in the strength of an horse, neither delighteth he in the legs of man.¹¹ But the Lorde deliteth in them that feare him, and attende vpon his mercie.

¹² Prayse the Lorde, O Ierusalem: prayse thy God, O Zion.¹³ For he hath made the barres of thy gates strong, and hath blessed thy children within thee.¹⁴ He setteth peace in thy borders, and satisfieth thee with the floure of wheate.¹⁵ He sendeth foorth his commaundement vpon earth, and his worde runneth very swiftly.¹⁶ He giueth snowe like wooll, and scattereth the hoare frost like ashes.¹⁷ He casteth foorth his yce like morsels: who can abide the colde thereof?¹⁸ He sendeth his worde and melteth them: he causeth his winde to blowe, and the waters flowe.¹⁹ He sheweth his word vnto Iaakob, his statutes and his iudgements vnto Israel.²⁰ He hath not dealt so with euery nation, neither haue they knowen his iudgements. Prayse ye the Lord.
