Rh :Sing unto the with thanksgiving,
 * Sing praises upon the harp unto our God;
 * Who covereth the heaven with clouds,
 * Who prepareth rain for the earth,
 * Who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.
 * He giveth to the beast his food,
 * And to the young ravens which cry.
 * He delighteth not in the strength of the horse;
 * He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.
 * The taketh pleasure in them that fear Him,
 * In those that wait for His mercy.


 * Glorify the, O Jerusalem;
 * Praise thy God, O Zion.
 * For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates;
 * He hath blessed thy children within thee.
 * He maketh thy borders peace;
 * He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat.
 * He sendeth out His commandment upon earth;
 * His word runneth very swiftly.
 * He giveth snow like wool;
 * He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
 * He casteth forth His ice like crumbs;
 * Who can stand before His cold?
 * He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them;
 * He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow.
 * He declareth His word unto Jacob,
 * His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel.
 * He hath not dealt so with any nation;
 * And as for His ordinances, they have not known them.
 * Hallelujah.


 * Hallelujah.
 * Praise ye the from the heavens;
 * Praise Him in the heights.
 * Praise ye Him, all His angels;
 * Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
 * Praise ye Him, sun and moon;
 * Praise Him, all ye stars of light.
 * Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens,
 * And ye waters that are above the heavens.
 * Let them praise the name of the ;
 * For He commanded, and they were created.
 * He hath also established them for ever and ever;
 * He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.


 * Praise the from the earth,
 * Ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
 * Fire and hail, snow and vapour,
 * Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
 * Mountains and all hills,
 * Fruitful trees and all cedars;
 * Beasts and all cattle,
 * Creeping things and winged fowl;
 * Kings of the earth and all peoples,
 * Princes and all judges of the earth;
 * Both young men and maidens,
 * Old men and children;
 * Let them praise the name of the ,
 * For His name alone is exalted;
 * His glory is above the earth and heaven.
 * And He hath lifted up a horn for His people,
 * A praise for all His saints,
 * Even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him.
 * Hallelujah.
