1Praise ye the Lord: with my whole heart
I will God's praise declare,
Where
the assemblies of the just
and congregations are.
|
|
2The whole works of the Lord our God
are great above all measure,
Sought
out they are of ev'ry one
that doth therein take pleasure.
|
|
3His work most honourable is,
most glorious and pure,
And
his untainted righteousness
for ever doth endure.
|
|
4His works most wonderful he hath
made to be thought upon:
The
Lord is gracious, and he is
full of compassion.
|
|
5He giveth meat unto all those
that truly do him fear;
And
evermore his covenant
he in his mind will bear.
|
|
6He did the power of his works
unto his people show,
When
he the heathen's heritage
upon them did bestow.
|
|
7His handy-works are truth and right;
all his commands are sure:
8And, done in truth and uprightness,
they evermore endure.
|
|
9He sent redemption to his folk;
his covenant for aye
He
did command: holy his name
and rev'rend is alway.
|
|
10Wisdom's beginning is God's fear:
good understanding they
Have
all that his commands fulfill:
his praise endures for aye.
