1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

Praise you the LORD. Praise you the name of the LORD; praise him, O you servants of the LORD.

2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,

You that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises to his name; for it is pleasant.

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.

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.

Whatever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries.

8 He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.

Who smote the firstborn 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.

Who sent tokens and wonders into the middle of you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage to Israel his people.

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

Your name, O LORD, endures for ever; and your memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

They that make them are like to them: so is every one that trusts in them.

19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: you that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwells at Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD.
