[1] Prayse ye the Lorde, for it is a good thyng: sing psalmes vnto our Lorde, for it is a pleasaunt thing, [his] praise is to be desired
[2] God buildeth vp Hierusalem: he wyll gather together the Israelites that were banished
[3] He healeth those that are broken in heart: he wrappeth vp their sorowes
[4] He counteth the number of the starres: he geueth vnto them all names
[5] Great is our Lorde, and great is his power: his vnderstandyng is infinite
[6] God setteth vp the meeke: he bringeth the vngodly downe to the grounde
[7] Syng ye vnto God with a confession: syng psalmes vpon the Harpe vnto our Lorde
[8] Who couereth the heauen with cloudes: who prepareth rayne for the earth, who maketh grasse to growe vppon the mountaynes
[9] He geueth vnto cattell their foode: [euen] vnto Rauens which call for it
[10] He hath no pleasure in the strength of an horse: he delighteth not in the legges of a man
[11] God delyghteth in them that feare him: [and] in them that put their trust in his mercie
[12] Prayse God O Hierusalem: prayse thy Lorde O Sion
[13] For he maketh fast the barres of thy gates: he blesseth thy children within thee
[14] He maketh peace in thy borders: he fylleth thee with good corne
[15] He sendeth foorth his commaundement vpon the earth: his word runneth very swiftly
[16] He geueth snowe [so whyte] as wooll: he scattereth the hoare frost like asshes
[17] He casteth foorth his yse lyke fragmentes: who is able to abide his frost
[18] He sendeth foorth his worde and melteth them: he bloweth with his winde, and the waters flowe
[19] He declareth his worde vnto Iacob: his statutes & ordinaunces vnto Israel
[20] He hath not dealt so with euery nation: neither haue they the knowledge of his iudgementes. Prayse ye the Lorde
