o praise the lord with one consent
and magnify his name;
let all the servants of the lord
his worthy praise proclaim

praise him all ye that in his house
attend with constant care;
with those that to his outmost courts
with humble zeal repair

for this our truest int’rest is
glad hymns of praise to sing;
and with loud songs to bless his name
a most delightful thing
for god his own peculiar choice
the sons of jacob makes;
and israel’s offspring for his own
most valued treasure takes

that god is great we often have
by glad experience found;
and seen how hе with wondrous pow’r
above all gods is crown’d

for he with unresistеd strength
performs his sov’reign will
in heav’n and earth, and wat’ry stores
that earth’s deep caverns fill

he raises vapours from the ground
which, pois’d in liquid air
fall down at last in show’rs, through which
his dreadful lightnings glare

he from his storehouse brings the wind;
and he with vengeful hand
the first+born slew of man and beast
through egypt’s mourning land

he dreadful signs and wonders shew’d
through stubborn egypt’s coasts;
nor pharaoh could his plagues escape
nor all his num’rous hosts
’twas he that various nations smote
and mighty kings suppress’d;
sihon and og, and all besides
who canaan’s land possess’d

their land upon his chosen race
he firmly did entail;
for which his fame shall always last
his praise shall never fail

for god shall soon his people’s cause
with pitying eyes survey;
repent him of his wrath, and turn
his kindled rage away

those idols, whose false worship spreads
o’er all the heathen lands
are made of silver and of gold
the work of human hands

they move not their fictitious tongues
nor see with polish’d eyes;
their counterfeited ears are deaf
no breath their mouth supplies

as senseless as themselves are they
that all their sk!ll apply
to make them, or in dang’rous times
on them for aid rely
their just returns of thanks to god
let grateful israel pay;
nor let the priests of aaron’s race
to bless the lord delay

their sense of his unbounded love
let levi’s house express;
and let all those that fear the lord
his name for ever bless

let all with thanks his wondrous works
in sion’s courts proclaim;
let them in salem, where he dwells
exalt his holy name
