I will magnify thee, O LORD; for thou hast set me up, * and not made my foes to triumph over me.
2O LORD my God, I cried unto thee; * and thou hast healed me.
3Thou, LORD, hast brought my soul out of hell: * thou hast kept my life, that I should not go down into the pit.
4Sing praises unto the LORD, O ye saints of his; * and give thanks unto him, for a remembrance of his holiness.
5For his wrath endureth but the twinkling of an eye, and in his pleasure is life; * heaviness may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be removed: * thou, LORD, of thy goodness, hast made my hill so strong.
7Thou didst turn thy face from me, * and I was troubled.
8Then cried I unto thee, O LORD; * and gat me to my LORD right humbly.
9What profit is there in my blood, * when I go down into the pit?
10Shall the dust give thanks unto thee? * or shall it declare thy truth?
11Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me; * LORD, be thou my helper.
12Thou hast turned my heaviness into joy; * thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness:
13Therefore shall every good man sing of thy praise without ceasing. * O my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
THOU, O God, art praised in Sion; * and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2Thou that hearest the prayer, * unto thee shall all flesh come.
3My misdeeds prevail against me: * O be thou merciful unto our sins.
4Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and receivest unto thee: * he shall dwell in thy court, and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5Thou shalt show us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of our salvation; * thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that remain in the broad sea.
6Who in his strength setteth fast the mountains, * and is girded about with power.
7Who stilleth the raging of the sea, * and the noise of his waves, and the madness of the peoples.
8They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth shall be afraid at thy tokens, * thou that makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to praise thee.
9Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it; * thou makest it very plenteous.
10The river of God is full of water: * thou preparest their corn, for so thou providest for the earth.
11Thou waterest her furrows; thou sendest rain into the little valleys thereof; * thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and blessest the increase of it.
12Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; * and thy clouds drop fatness.
13They shall drop upon the dwellings of the wilderness; * and the little hills shall rejoice on every side.
14The folds shall be full of sheep; * the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that they shall laugh and sing.
GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us, * and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;
2That thy way may be known upon earth, * thy saving health among all nations.
3Let the peoples praise thee, O God; * yea, let all the peoples praise thee.
4O let the nations rejoice and be glad; * for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
5Let the peoples praise thee, O God; * yea, let all the peoples praise thee.
6Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; * and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
7God shall bless us; * and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
IT is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, * and to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most Highest;
2To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning, * and of thy truth in the night season;
3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute; * upon a loud instrument, and upon the harp.
4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy works; * and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands.
5O LORD, how glorious are thy works! * thy thoughts are very deep.
6An unwise man doth not well consider this, * and a fool doth not understand it.
7When the ungodly are green as the grass, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish, * then shall they be destroyed for ever; but thou, LORD, art the Most Highest for evermore.
8For lo, thine enemies, O LORD, lo, thine enemies shall perish; * and all the workers of wickedness shall be destroyed.
9But my horn shall be exalted like the horn of an unicorn; * for I am anointed with fresh oil.
10Mine eye also shall see his lust of mine enemies, * and mine ear shall hear his desire of the wicked that arise up against me.
11The righteous shall flourish like a palm-tree, * and shall spread abroad like a cedar in Lebanon.
12Such as are planted in the house of the LORD, * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
13They also shall bring forth more fruit in their age, * and shall be fat and well-liking;
14That they may show how true the LORD my strength is, * and that there is no unrighteousness in him.
O sing unto the LORD a new song; * for he hath done marvellous things.
2With his own right hand, and with his holy arm, * hath he gotten himself the victory.
3The LORD declared his salvation; * his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.
4He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel; * and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
5Show yourselves joyful unto the LORD, all ye lands; * sing, rejoice, and give thanks.
6Praise the LORD upon the harp; * sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving.
7With trumpets also and shawms, * O show yourselves joyful before the LORD, the King.
8Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is; * the round world, and they that dwell therein.
9Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the LORD; * for he is come to judge the earth.
10With righteousness shall he judge the world, * and the peoples with equity.
O be joyful in the LORD, all ye lands: * serve the LORD with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
2Be ye sure that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; * we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
3O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; * be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
4For the LORD is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; * and his truth endureth from generation to generation.
PRAISE the LORD, O my soul; * and all that is within me, praise his holy Name.
2Praise the LORD, O my soul, * and forget not all his benefits:
3Who forgiveth all thy sin, * and healeth all thine infirmities;
4Who saveth thy life from destruction, * and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness;
5Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, * making thee young and lusty as an eagle.
6The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment * for all them that are oppressed with wrong.
7He showed his ways unto Moses, * his works unto the children of Israel.
8The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, * long-suffering, and of great goodness.
9He will not alway be chiding; * neither keepeth he his anger for ever.
10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; * nor rewarded us according to our wickednesses.
11For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth; * so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.
12Look how wide also the east is from the west; * so far hath he set our sins from us.
13Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children; * even so is the LORD merciful unto them that fear him.
14For he knoweth whereof we are made; * he remembereth that we are but dust.
15The days of man are but as grass; * for he flourisheth as a flower of the field.
16For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone; * and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17But the merciful goodness of the LORD endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him; * and his righteousness upon children's children;
18Even upon such as keep his covenant, * and think upon his commandments to do them.
19The LORD hath prepared his seat in heaven, * and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20O praise the LORD, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength; * ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his word.
21O praise the LORD, all ye his hosts; * ye servants of his that do his pleasure.
22O speak good of the LORD, all ye works of his, in all places of his dominion: * praise thou the LORD, O my soul.
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is gracious, * and his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let them give thanks whom the LORD hath redeemed, * and delivered from the hand of the enemy;
3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west; * from the north, and from the south.
4They went astray in the wilderness out of the way, * and found no city to dwell in.
5Hungry and thirsty, * their soul fainted in them.
6So they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, * and he delivered them from their distress.
7He led them forth by the right way, * that they might go to the city where they dwelt.
8O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness; * and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
9For he satisfieth the empty soul, * and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
10Such as sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * being fast bound in misery and iron;
11Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord, * and lightly regarded the counsel of the Most Highest;
12He also brought down their heart through heaviness: * they fell down, and there was none to help them.
13So when they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, * he delivered them out of their distress.
14For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death, * and brake their bonds in sunder.
15O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness; * and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
16For he hath broken the gates of brass, * and smitten the bars of iron in sunder.
17Foolish men are plagued for their offence, * and because of their wickedness.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of meat, * and they were even hard at death's door.
19So when they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, * he delivered them out of their distress.
20He sent his word, and healed them; * and they were saved from their destruction.
21O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness; * and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
22That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving, * and tell out his works with gladness!
23They that go down to the sea in ships, * and occupy their business in great waters;
24These men see the works of the LORD, * and his wonders in the deep.
25For at his word the stormy wind ariseth, * which lifteth up the waves thereof.
26They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep; * their soul melteth away because of the trouble.
27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, * and are at their wit's end.
28So when they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, * he delivereth them out of their distress.
29For he maketh the storm to cease, * so that the waves thereof are still.
30Then are they glad, because they are at rest; * and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.
31O that men would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness; * and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
32That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people, * and praise him in the seat of the elders!
33He turneth the floods into a wilderness, * and drieth up the water-springs.
34A fruitful land maketh he barren, * for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35Again, he maketh the wilderness a standing water, * and water-springs of a dry ground.
36And there he setteth the hungry, * that they may build them a city to dwell in;
37That they may sow their land, and plant vineyards, * to yield them fruits of increase.
38He blesseth them, so that they multiply exceedingly; * and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
39And again, when they are minished and brought low * through oppression, through any plague or trouble;
40Though he suffer them to be evil entreated through tyrants, * and let them wander out of the way in the wilderness;
41Yet helpeth he the poor out of misery, * and maketh him households like a flock of sheep.
42The righteous will consider this, and rejoice; * and the mouth of all wickedness shall be stopped.
43Whoso is wise, will ponder these things; * and they shall understand the loving-kindness of the LORD.
I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart, * secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.
2The works of the LORD are great, * sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour, * and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvellous works, * that they ought to be had in remembrance.
5He hath given meat unto them that fear him; * he shall ever be mindful of his covenant.
6He hath showed his people the power of his works, * that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; * all his commandments are true.
8They stand fast for ever and ever, * and are done in truth and equity.
9He sent redemption unto his people; * he hath commanded his covenant for ever; holy and reverend is his Name.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; * a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; his praise endureth for ever.
MY delight is in the LORD; * because he hath heard the voice of my prayer;
2Because he hath inclined his ear unto me; * therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3The snares of death compassed me round about, * and the pains of hell gat hold upon me.
4I found trouble and heaviness; then called I upon the Name of the LORD; * O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; * yea, our God is merciful.
6The LORD preserveth the simple: * I was in misery, and he helped me.
7Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul; * for the LORD hath rewarded thee.
8And why? thou hast delivered my soul from death, * mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9I will walk before the LORD * in the land of the living.
10I believed, and therefore will I speak; but I was sore troubled: * I said in my haste, All men are liars.
11What reward shall I give unto the LORD * for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?
12I will receive the cup of salvation, * and call upon the Name of the LORD.
13I will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people: * right dear in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
14Behold, O LORD, how that I am thy servant; * I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid; thou hast broken my bonds in sunder.
15I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, * and will call upon the Name of the LORD.
16I will pay my vows unto the LORD, in the sight of all his people, * in the courts of the LORD’S house; even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
BEHOLD now, praise the LORD, * all ye servants of the LORD;
2Ye that by night stand in the house of the LORD, * even in the courts of the house of our God.
3Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, * and praise the LORD.
4The LORD that made heaven and earth * give thee blessing out of Sion.
I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; * even before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy Name, because of thy loving-kindness and truth; * for thou hast magnified thy Name, and thy word, above all things.
3When I called upon thee, thou heardest me; * and enduedst my soul with much strength.
4All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD; * for they have heard the words of thy mouth.
5Yea, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, * that great is the glory of the LORD.
6For though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly; * as for the proud, he beholdeth them afar off.
7Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shalt thou refresh me; * thou shalt stretch forth thy hand upon the furiousness of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8The LORD shall make good his loving-kindness toward me; * yea, thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever; despise not then the works of thine own hands.
I will magnify thee, O God, my King; * and I will praise thy Name for ever and ever.
2Every day will I give thanks unto thee; * and praise thy Name for ever and ever.
3Great is the LORD, and marvellous worthy to be praised; * there is no end of his greatness.
4One generation shall praise thy works unto another, * and declare thy power.
5As for me, I will be talking of thy worship, * thy glory, thy praise, and wondrous works;
6So that men shall speak of the might of thy marvellous acts; * and I will also tell of thy greatness.
7The memorial of thine abundant kindness shall be showed; * and men shall sing of thy righteousness.
8The LORD is gracious and merciful; * long-suffering, and of great goodness.
9The LORD is loving unto every man; * and his mercy is over all his works.
10All thy works praise thee, O LORD; * and thy saints give thanks unto thee.
11They show the glory of thy kingdom, * and talk of thy power;
12That thy power, thy glory, and mightiness of thy kingdom, * might be known unto men.
13Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, * and thy dominion endureth throughout all ages.
14The LORD upholdeth all such as fall, * and lifteth up all those that are down.
15The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord; * and thou givest them their meat in due season.
16Thou openest thine hand, * and fillest all things living with plenteousness.
17The LORD is righteous in all his ways, * and holy in all his works.
18The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him; * yea, all such as call upon him faithfully.
19He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him; * he also will hear their cry, and will help them.
20The LORD preserveth all them that love him; * but scattereth abroad all the ungodly.
21My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD; * and let all flesh give thanks unto his holy Name for ever and ever.
PRAISE the LORD, for it is a good thing to sing praises unto our God; * yea, a joyful and pleasant thing it is to be thankful.
2The LORD doth build up Jerusalem, * and gather together the outcasts of Israel.
3He healeth those that are broken in heart, * and giveth medicine to heal their sickness.
4He telleth the number of the stars, * and calleth them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord, and great is his power; * yea, and his wisdom is infinite.
6The LORD setteth up the meek, * and bringeth the ungodly down to the ground.
7O sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; * sing praises upon the harp unto our God:
8Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth; * and maketh the grass to grow upon the mountains, and herb for the use of men;
9Who giveth fodder unto the cattle, * and feedeth the young ravens that call upon him.
10He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse; * neither delighteth he in any man's legs.
11But the LORD'S delight is in them that fear him, * and put their trust in his mercy.
12Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; * praise thy God, O Sion.
13For he hath made fast the bars of thy gates, * and hath blessed thy children within thee.
14He maketh peace in thy borders, * and filleth thee with the flour of wheat.
15He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth, * and his word runneth very swiftly.
16He giveth snow like wool, * and scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17He casteth forth his ice like morsels: * who is able to abide his frost?
18He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: * he bloweth with his wind, and the waters flow.
19He showeth his word unto Jacob, * his statutes and ordinances unto Israel.
20He hath not dealt so with any nation; * neither have the heathen knowledge of his laws.
O praise the LORD from the heavens: * praise him in the heights.
2Praise him, all ye angels of his: * praise him, all his host.
3Praise him, sun and moon: * praise him, all ye stars and light.
4Praise him, all ye heavens, * and ye waters that are above the heavens.
5Let them praise the Name of the LORD: * for he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6He hath made them fast for ever and ever: * he hath given them a law which shall not be broken.
7Praise the LORD from the earth, * ye dragons and all deeps;
8Fire and hail, snow and vapours, * wind and storm, fulfilling his word;
9Mountains and all hills; * fruitful trees and all cedars;
10Beasts and all cattle; * creeping things and flying fowls;
11Kings of the earth, and all peoples; * princes, and all judges of the world;
12Young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the LORD: * for his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth.
13He shall exalt the horn of his people: all his saints shall praise him; * even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him.
O praise God in his sanctuary: * praise him in the firmament of his power.
2Praise him in his noble acts: * praise him according to his excellent greatness.
3Praise him in the sound of the trumpet: * praise him upon the lute and harp.
4Praise him in the timbrels and dances: * praise him upon the strings and pipe.
5Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals: * praise him upon the loud cymbals.
6Let every thing that hath breath * praise the LORD.
