1 Praise ye the Lord. I will prayse the Lord with my whole heart in the assemblie and Congregation of the iust. 2 The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them. 3 His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer. 4 He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion. 5 He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant. 6 He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen. 7 The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true. 8 They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie. 9 He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name. 10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord: all they that obserue them, haue good vnderstanding: his praise endureth for euer.
In Praise of the Lord
1 Praise the Lord!
With all my heart I will thank the Lord
in the assembly of his people.

All who are delighted with them want to understand them.
3 All he does is full of honor and majesty;
his righteousness is eternal.
4 The Lord does not let us forget his wonderful actions;
he is kind and merciful.
5 He provides food for those who honor him;
he never forgets his covenant.
6 He has shown his power to his people
by giving them the lands of foreigners.
7 In all he does he is faithful and just;
all his commands are dependable.
8 They last for all time;
they were given in truth and righteousness.
9 He set his people free
and made an eternal covenant with them.
Holy and mighty is he!
10 The way to become wise is to honor the Lord;
he gives sound judgment to all who obey his commands.
He is to be praised forever.
