- 1Praise ye the Lord; ’tis good to raise
- Your hearts and voices in His praise;
- His nature and His works invite
- To make this duty our delight.
- Sing to the Lord! exalt Him high,
- Who spreads the clouds along the sky;
- There He prepares the fruitful rain,
- Nor let the drops descend, descend in vain.
- 2He formed the stars, those heav’nly flames;
- He counts their numbers, calls their names;
- His wisdom’s vast, and knows no bound,
- A deep where all our thoughts are drowned.
- Sing to the Lord! exalt Him high,
- Who spreads the clouds along the sky;
- There He prepares the fruitful rain,
- Nor let the drops descend, descend in vain.
- 3He makes the grass the hills adorn,
- And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
- The beasts with food His hands supply,
- And the young ravens when they cry.
- Sing to the Lord! exalt Him high,
- Who spreads the clouds along the sky;
- There He prepares the fruitful rain,
- Nor let the drops descend, descend in vain.
- 4But saints are lovely in His sight,
- He views His children with delight;
- He sees their hope, He knows their fear,
- He looks, and loves His image there.
- Sing to the Lord! exalt Him high,
- Who spreads the clouds along the sky;
- There He prepares the fruitful rain,
- Nor let the drops descend, descend in vain.
