O Praise the Lord, praise him, praise him,
praise him with one accord:
O praise him still, all ye that be
the servants of the Lord.

O praise him ye that stand within the Temple of the Lord: Ye of his Court, and of his house, praise him with one accord.

Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,

sing praises to his Name:
It is a good and comely thing,
alwaies to doe the same.

For God hath chosen Jacobs seed, ev'n of his own good pleasure: And he hath chosen Israel, for his peculiar treasure.

For this I know undoubtedly, the Lord is very great: He is indeed above all gods, and hath the highest seat.

¶The Idols which the Heathen have in all their coasts and lands, Of silver and of gold they be, the work of workmens hands.

They have a mouth, and cannot speak, and eyes that have no sight:

They have an ear, and doe not hear, their mouths are breathlesse quite.

O all ye house of Israel, see that ye praise the Lord: And ye that be of Aarons house, praise him with one accord.

And ye that be of Levies house, praise ye, likewise, the Lord:

And ye that stand in aw of him, praise him with one accord.
