Praise ye the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the righteous, and in the congregation.

2 The workes of the Lord are great, and ought to be sought out of al them that loue them.

The works of the LORD are great, Sought out by all who have pleasure in them.

3 His worke is beautifull and glorious, and his righteousnesse endureth for euer.

His deeds are honorable and glorious, And his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 He hath made his wonderfull workes to be had in remembrance: the Lord is mercifull and full of compassion.

He hath established a memorial of his wonders; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He hath giuen a portion vnto them that feare him: he wil euer be mindfull of his couenant.

He giveth meat to them that fear him; He is ever mindful of his covenant.

6 He hath shewed to his people the power of his workes in giuing vnto them the heritage of the heathen.

He showed his people the greatness of his works, When he gave them the inheritance of the heathen.

7 The workes of his handes are trueth and iudgement: all his statutes are true.

The deeds of his hands are truth and justice; All his commandments are sure;

8 They are stablished for euer and euer, and are done in trueth and equitie.

They stand firm for ever and ever, Being founded in truth and justice.

9 He sent redemption vnto his people: he hath commanded his couenant for euer: holy and fearefull is his Name.

He sent redemption to his people; He established his covenant for ever; Holy, and to be had in reverence, 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.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all they who keep his commandments; His praise endureth for ever.
