Author: W. K. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #61 (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for he is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,
his mercy dures for aye:
2 Who can expresse his noble acts,
or all his praise display?
3 They blessèd are that judgement keep,
and justly do alway:
With favour of thy people (Lord)
remember me, I pray.
4 And with thy saving health (O Lord)
vouchsafe to visit me:
That I the great felicity
of thine elect may see.
5 And with thy peoples joy I may
a joyfull mind possesse:
And may with thine inheritance
a glorying heart expresse.
6 Both we and eke our fathers all,
have simned every one:
We have committed wickednesse,
and lewdly we have done.
7 The wonders great which thou (O Lord)
hast done in Egypt s land:
Our fathers, though they saw them all,
yet did not understand.
Nor yet thy mercies multitude
did keep in thankfull mind:
But at the sea, yea, the red sea,
rebelled most unkind.
8 Neverthelesse he saved them
for honour of his Name
That he might make his power knowne
and spread abroad his fame.
9 The red sea he did then rebuke,
and forthwith it was dry'd:
And as in wildernesse, so through
the deep he did them guide.
10 He sav'd them from the cruell hand
of their despitefull foe:
And from the enemies hand he did
deliver them also.
The second Part:
11 The waters their oppressours whelm'd,
not one was left alive:
12 Then they believ'd his word, & praise
in song they did him give.
13 But very soon unthankfully
his works they clean forgot:
And for his counsell and his will
they did neglect to wait.
14 But lusted in the wildernesse,
with fond and greedy lust:
And in the desart tempted God,
the stay of all their trust.
15 And then their wanton minds desire
he suffer'd them to have:
But wasting leanenesse therewithall
unto their soules he gave.
16 Then when they lodged in their tents,
at Moses they did grutch:
Aaron the holy of the Lord
so did they envy much.
17 Therefore the earth did open wide,
and Dathan did devoure:
And all Abirams company
did cover in that houre.
18 In their assembly kindled was
a hot consuming fire:
And wasting flame did then burn up
the wicked in his ire.
19 Upon the hill of Horeb they
an idoll calfe did frame:
And there the molten image they
did worship of the same.
20 Into the likenesse of a Calfe
which feedeth on the grasse,
Thus they their glory turn'd and all
their honour did deface;
21 And God their onely Saviour
unkindly they forgot:
Which many great and mighty things
in Egypt land had wrought.
The third Part.
22 And in the land of Ham for them
most wondrous works had done:
And by the red sea dreadfull things
Perform-ed long agone.
23 Therefore for their so shewing them
forgetfull and unkind:
To bring destruction on them all
he purpos'd in his mind:
Had not his chosen Moses stood
before him in the break
To turn his wrath left he on them
with slaughter should him wreak.
24 They did despise the pleasant land,
that he behight to give:
Yea and the words that he had spoke
they did no whit believe.
25 But in their tents with grudging heart
they wickedly repin'd:
Nor to the voice of God the Lord
did give an hark'ning mind.
26 Therefore against them lifted he
his strong revenging hand:
Them to destroy in wildernesse,
ere they should see the land.
27 And to destroy their seed among
the nations with his rod:
And through the countries of the world
to scatter them abroad.
28 To Baal Peor then they did
and joyne themselves also:
And ate the offerings of the dead
so they forsook him tho.
29 Thus with their own inventions
his wrath they did provoke:
And in his sore inkindled wrath
the plague upon them broke.
30 But Phineas stood up with zeal
the sinners vile to slay:
And judgement he did execute,
and then the plague did stay.
The fourth Part.
31 It was imputed unto him
for righteousness that day,
And from thenceforth so counted is
from race to race, I say.
32 At waters eke of Meribah
they did him angry make:
Yea, so far forth that Moses then
was punish'd for their sake.
33 Because they vex'd his spirit so sore,
that in impatient heat
His lips spake unadvisedly,
his fervour was so great.
34 Nor as the Lord commanded them
they slew the people tho:
35 But were among the heathen mix'd,
and learn'd their works also.
36 And did their idols serve which were
their ruine and decay:
37 To fiends their sons and daughters they
they offer up and slay:
38 Yea with unkindly murdering knife
the guiltlesse blood they spilt:
Yet their own sons and daughters blooud
without all cause of guilt.
Whom they to Canaan idols then
offred with wicked hand:
And so with bloud of innocents
defiled was the land.
39 Thus they were stained with the works
of their own filthy way:
And with their own inventions
a whoring they did stray.
40 Therefore against his people was
the Lords wrath kindled sore:
And even his own inheritance
he did abhorre therefore.
41 Into the hands of heathen men
he gave them for a prey:
And made their foes their :ords, whom they
were forced to obey.
The fift Part:
42 Yea and their hatefull enemies
opprest them in their land:
And they were humbly made to stoope
as subjects to their hand.
43 Full oftentimes from thrall had he
delivered them before:
But with their counsels they to wrath
provok'd him evermore.
Therefore they by their wickednesse
were brought full low to lie:
44 Yet when he saw them in distresse.
he hearkened to their cry.
45 He cal'd to mind his covenant,
which he to them had swore:
And by his mercies multitude
repented him therefore.
46 And favour he them made to find,
before the sight of those
That led them captive from their land,
when erst they were their foes.
47 Save us O Lord that art our God,
save us (O Lord) we pray:
And from among the heathen folk,
Lord gather us away.
48 That we may spread the noble praise
of thy most holy Name:
That we may glory in thy praise,
and sounding of thy fame.
49 The Lord the God of Israel
be blest for evermore:
Let all the people say Amen.
praise ye the Lord therefore.

Author: N. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #85b (1640) Publication Date: 1640 First Line: Praise ye the Lord, for it is good Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for it is good
unto our God to sing;
For it is pleasant, and to praise
it is a comely thing.
2 The Lord his own Jerusalem
he buildeth up alone:
And the disperst of Israel
doth gather into one.
3 He heales the broken in their heart,
their sores up doth he bind:
4 He counts the number of the starres,
and names them in their kind.
5 Great is the Lord, great is his power
his wisdome infinite:
6 The Lord relieves the meek, and throws
to ground the wicked wight.
7 Sing unto God the Lord with praise,
unto the Lord rejoyce:
And to our God upon the Harp
advance your singing voice.
8 He covers heaven with clouds, and for
the earth prepareth raine:
And on the mountaines he doth make
the grasse to grow againe.
9 He gives to beasts their food, and to
young Tavens when they cry:
10 His pleasure not in strength of horse,
nor in mans legs doth lie.
11 But in all those that feare the Lord,
the Lord hath his delight:
And such as do attend upon
his mercies shining light.
The second Part:
12 O praise the Lord Jerusalem,
thy God O Sion praise:
1e For he the barres hath forged strong,
wherewith thy gates he staies.
14 Thy children he hath blest in thee,
and in thy borders he
Doth settle peace, and with the flower
of wheat he filleth thee.
15 And his commandement upon
the earth he sendeth out:
And eke his word with speedy course
doth swiftly run about.
16 He giveth snow like wool, hoar-frost
like ashes he doth spread:
17 Like morsels casts his ice, thereof
the cold who can abide?
18 He sendeth forth his mighty word,
and melteth them againe:
His wind he makes to blow, and then
the waters flow amaine.
19 The doctrine of his holy word
to Jacob he doth show:
His statutes and his judgements he
gives Israel to know.
20 With any Nation hath he not
so dealt, nor have they known
His secret judgements, ye therefore
praise ye the Lord alone.

Praise ye the Lord, for good is he
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PCXLVIIb (1742) Publication Date: 1742 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for good it is
Praise to our God to sing:
Because a pleasant thing is this,
Praise is a comely thing,
2 Jehovah doth Jerusalem
Her buildings up repair;
He doth together gather them
That Israel's outcasts are.
3 The broken ones in heart he heals,
Binds up their bruises all.
4 The number of the stars he tells
All them by names doth call.
5 Great is our God and great in pow'r,
His knowledge without bound.
6 The Lord lifts up the meek and poor,
The wicked casts to ground.
7 Unto Jehovah see that you,
Sing out with thanksgiving:
Upon the harp our God unto
See that you praises sing.
8 Who overspreads with clouds the skie,
Who for the earth below
Prepareth rain: on mountains high
Who causeth grass to grow.
9 To beasts their food, to ravens young
Who giveth when they cry.
10 His pleasure not in horses strong
Nor in man's legs doth lie.
11 Who fear the Lord he joys in them,
Whose hope one's mercy stays.
12 The Lord praise O Jerusalem,
Thy God O Sion praise.
13 For thy gates bars he hath made strong,
Thy children in thee bless'd.
14 He maketh peace thy coasts-along,
Thee fills with wheat o' th' best
15 He forth on earth sends his decree,
His word is swiftly past.
1 6 He gives snow like wool, and he
Doth frost as ashes cast.
17 Like morsels forth he sends his ice,
Who can his cold sustain?
18 He sendeth forth his word likewise:
And melteth them again.
19 His wind he causeth forth to blow,
And then the waters flow.
He Jacob did his word, his law
And judgments Israel show.
20 With any of the nations done
In like sort hath not he:
His judgments so they have not known,
O praise Jehovah ye.

Praise ye the Lord, for good is he
Praise ye the Lord, for it
Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New-Testament #PCXLVIIa (1742) Publication Date: 1742 Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, for it
Is good praises to sing
To our God, for its sweet:
Praise is a comely thing.
2 Tie Lord doth rear
Jerusalem: And gathers them
That outcafss were,
3 The broke in heart he heals,
And up their wounds doth bind.
4 The stars by number tells,
He calls them all by kind:
5 Our Lord great is
And of great might: Yea infinite
His knowledge is.
6 The Lord doth raise the low,
To ground the vile doth fling.
7 Sing thanks the Lord unto,
On harp our God's praise sing.
8 Who clouds the skies;
Rains th' earth upon, and mountains on
Makes grass to rise.
9 Beasts he and ravens young,
When as they cry feeds them:
10 Joys not in horses strong,
Nor in the legs of men.
11 The Lord doth place
His pleasure where, Men do him fear,
And hope on's grace,
12 The Lord Jerusalem praise,
Sion thy God confess.
13 For thy gates bars he stays;
In thee thy sons doth bless.
14 Peace maketh he
In borders thine: With wheat so fine
He filleth thee.
15 On earth sends his decree,
His word doth swiftly pass.
16 Gives snow like wool; and he
Hoar-frost spreads ashes as.
17 His ice doth send
Like morsels too; 'Fore his cold who
Can steady stand?
18 His word sends, and them thaws;
Makes wind blow, water flows.
19 Jacob his word, his laws
And Judgments Isra'l shows.
20 He hath so done
No Nation to: And judgments so
They have not known
Scripture: Psalm 147 Languages: English
Praise ye the Lord, for it
O praise the Lord, for he is good
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #244 (1754) Publication Date: 1754 Lyrics: 1,2 O praise the Lord, for he is good,
his Mercies ne'er decay:
That his kind Favours ever last
let thankful Isr'el say.
3,4 Their Sense of his eternal Love,
let Aaron's House express;
And that it never fails, let all
that fear the Lord, confess.
5 To God I made my humble Moan,
with Troubles quite opprest;
And he releas'd me from my Straits,
and granted my Request.
6 Since therefore God does on my Side
so graciously appear,
Why should the vain Attempts of Men
possess my Soul with Fear?
7 Since God with those that aid my Cause
vouchsafes my Part to take,
To all my Foes, I need not doubt,
a just Return to make.
8,9 For better 'tis to trust in God,
and have the Lord our Friend,
Than on the greatest human Pow'r
for Safety to depend.
10,11 Tho' many Nations closely leagu'd,
did oft beset me round;
yet by his boundless Pow'r sustain'd,
I did their Strength confound.
12 They swarm'd like Bees, and yet their Rage
was but a short-liv'd blaze;
For whilst on God I still rely'd,
I vanquish'd them with Ease.
13 When all united press'd me hard,
in hopes to make me fall;
The Lord vouchsaf'd to take my part,
and sav'd me from them all.
14 The Honour of my strange Escape
to him alone belongs;
He is my Saviour and my Strength,
he only claims my Songs.
15 Joy fills the Dwelling of the Just,
whom God has sav'd from Harm;
For wond'rous Things are brought to pass
by his Almighty Arm.
16 He, by his own resistless Pow'r,
has endless Honour won;
The saving Strength of his right Hand,
amazing works has done.
17 God will not suffer me to fall,
but still prolongs my Days;
That by declaring all his works
I may advance his Praise.
18 When God has sorely me chastiz'd,
till quite of Hopes bereav'd,
His Mercy from the Gates of Death
my fainting Life repriev'd.
19 Then open wide the Temple Gates
to which the Just repair,
That I may enter in and praise
my great Deliv'rer there.
20,21 Within those Gates of God's Abode
to which the Righteous press,
Since thou hast heard, and set me safe,
thy holy Name I'll bless.
22,23 That which the Builders once refus'd,
is now the Corner Stone.
This is the wond'rous Work of God,
the Work of God alone.
24,25 This Day is God's; let all the land
exalt their chearful Voice;
Lord, we beseech thee, save us now,
and make us still rejoice.
26 Him that approaches in God's Name,
let all th' Assembly bless;
"We that belong to God's own House
"have wish'd you good Success."
27 God is the Lord, through whom we all
both Light and Comfort find;
Fast to the Altar's Horns with Cords
the chosen Victim bind.
28 Thou art my Lord, O God, and still
I'll praise thy holy Name;
Because thou only art my God,
I'll celebrate thy Fame.
29 O then with me give Thanks to God,
who still does gracious prove;
And let the Tribute of our Praise
be endless as his Love.

Hymnal: The Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, faithully translated into English metre #PCXVIII (1758) Publication Date: 1758 Lyrics: 1 O praise the LORD, for He is good,
his mercies ne'er decay:
2 And that his mercies ever last,
let thankful Isr'el say.
3 Their sense of his eternal love
let Aaron's house declare:
4 And that it fails not, let all say,
all who Jehovah fear.
5 To the almighty JAH I cry'd
in my extreme distress;
And JAH, on high me heard,and brought
into this happy place.
6 The LORD is for me; I'll not fear
what man to me can do:
7 The LORD is with my helping friends;
and I will face my foe.
8 'Tis better on the LORD to trust,
than trust in man's defence;
9 Better to trust the LORD than place
in princes confidence.
[2 Part]
10 All nations round environ'd me,
design'd my fatal fall;
But in JEHOVAH's mighty name
I overcame them all.
11 They compass'd me, again, again,
and try'd my utter fall;
But in JEHOVAH's mighty name
I did subdue them all.
12 Like angry bees they round me swarm'd,
rag'd like a thorny flame;
Yet quenched and destroyed were,
but in JEHOVAH's name.
13 When they push'd hard to beat me down,
JEHOVAH helped me.
14 The mighty JAH my strength, my song,
and saving help is He.
15 In tents of righteous men is heard
the voice of health and joy:
The Lord's right hand gives mighty strength
and works most mightily,
16 JEHOVAH by his mighty pow'r
advances them on high:
The Lord's right hand gives mighty strength
and works most mightily.
[3 Part]
17 I shall not die, but longer live,
and gratefully declare
The works of our almighty JAH,
how wonderful they are.
18 For JAH hath sorely me chastiz'd,
till just of life bereav'd:
But kindly from the gates of death,
my fainting life repriev'd.
19 O set wide open now to me
the gates of righteousness;
And I will enter them, and there
the praise of JAH confess.
20 This gate, JEHOVAH's blessed gate,
into his house doth lead:
The righteous love to enter in;
and entring in are glad.
21 Among these righteous ones I'll be
and praise on Thee bestow;
For Thou hast heard me, and to Thee
I my salvation owe.
22 The stone the builders did despise,
and utterly disclaim,
Is now the chief and corner stone,
which bares up all the frame.
23 This work JEHOVAH's mighty pow'r
hath brought to pass alone;
And we in great amazement stand
to see what He hath done.
[4 Part
24 This is the great and blessed day
the LORD himself hath made;
And we will all therein rejoyce,
and be exceeding glad.
25 JEHOVAH we now Thee beseech
SALVATION TO AFFORD:
We humbly Thee entreat now send
prosperity, O LORD!
26 He that comes in JEHOVAH's name
O let him blessed be.
Out of JEHOVAH's house to you,
a blessing wish do we.
27 God is JEHOVAH, who to us
hath made his light to rise:
Bind therefore to his altar's horns
with cords, our sacrifice.
28 Thou art my God, and I'll proclaim
for evermore thy praise:
Thou art my God, and thy great name
my thankful song shall raise,
29 O to JEHOVAH give ye thanks;
immensely good is He,
Because his mercy doth endure
ev'n to eternity. Scripture: Psalm 118 Languages: English

19 O set wide open now to me
the gates of righteousness;
And I will enter them, and there
the praise of JAH confess.
20 This gate, JEHOVAH's blessed gate,
into his house doth lead:
The righteous love to enter in;
and entering in are glad.
21 Among these righteous ones I'll be,
and praise on Thee bestow;
For Thou hast heard me, and to Thee
I my salvation owe.
22 The stone the builders did despise,
and utterly disclaim,
Is now the chief and corner stone,
which bares up all the frame.
23 This work JEHOVAH's mighty pow'r
hath brought to pass alone;
And we in great amazement stand,
to see what He hath done.
[4 Part]
24 This is the great and blessed day
the LORD himself hath made;
And we will all therein rejoice,
and be exceeding glad.
25 JEHOVAH we now Thee beseech
SALVATION TO AFFORD:
We humbly Thee entreat now send
prosperity, O LORD!
26 He that comes in JEHOVAH's name
O let him blessed be.
Out of JEHOVAH's house to you
a blessing wish do we.
27 God is JEHOVAH, who to us
hath made his light to rise:
Bind therefore to his altar's horns
with cords, our sacrifice.
28 Thou art my God, and I'll proclaim
for evermore thy praise:
Thou art my God, and thy great name
my thankful song shall raise,
29 O to JEHOVAH give ye thanks;
immensely good is He,
Because his mercy doth endure
ev'n to eternity. Scripture: Psalm 118 Languages: English
O praise the LORD, for He is good
O praise the Lord, for he is good
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #118 (1789) Publication Date: 1789 Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good,
His mercies ne'er decay:
That his kind favours ever last
Let thankful Isr'el say.
2 Their sense of his eternal love,
Let Aaron's house express;
And that it never fails, let all
that fear the Lord confess.
3 To God I made my humble moan,
With troubles quite opprest;
And he releas'd me from my straits,
And granted my request.
4 Since therefore God does on my side
so graciously appear,
Why should the vain attempts of men
Possess my soul with fear?
Part II.
5 The Lord appears my helper now,
Nor is my faith afraid
What all the sons of earth can do,
Since heav'n affords its aid.
6 'Tis safer, Lord, to hope in thee
And have my God my friend,
Than trust in men of high degree,
And on their truth depend.
7 'Tis thro the Lord my heart is strong,
In him my lips rejoice;
While his salvation is my song,
How cheerful is my voice!
8 Like angry bees, they girt me round;
When God appears they fly;
So burning thorns with crack'ling sound,
Make a fierce blaze. and die.
9 Joy to the saints and peace belongs;
The Lord protects their days:
Let Isr'el tune immortal songs
To his Almighty grace.
Part III.
10 Lord, thou hast heard thy servant cry
And rescu'd from the grave;
Now shall he live: (and none can die,
If God resolve to save.)
11 Thy praise more constant than before,
Shall fill his daily breath;
Thy hand, that hath chastis'd him sore
Defends him still from death.
12 Open the gates of Sion now,
For we shall worship there;
The house where all the righteous go
Thy mercy to declare.
13 Amongst th' assemblies of thy saints
Our thankful voice we raise;
There we have told thee our complaints,
And there we speak thy praise.
Part IV.
14 Behold the sure foundation stone
Which God in Sion lays,
To build our heav'nly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.
15 Chosen of God to sinners dear,
And saints adore the name,
They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.
16 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this Rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.
17 What tho' the gates of hell withstood?
Yet must this building rise:
'Tis thy own work, Almighty God,
And wond'rous in our eyes.
Part V.
18 This is the day the Lord hath made,
He calls the hours his own;
Let heav'n rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
19 To day he rose and left the dead;
And satan's empire fell;
To day the saints his triumphs spread,
And all his wonders tell.
20 Hosanna to th' anointed king,
To David's holy son,
Help us, O Lord, descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.
21 Blest be the Lord, who comes to man
With messages of grace:
Who comes in God his Father's name
To save our sinful race.
22 Hosannah in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise;
The highest heav'ns in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.
Part VI.
23 God is the Lord, through whom we all
Both light and comfort find;
Fast to the altar's horns with cords
The chosen victim bind.
24 Thou art my Lord, O God, and still
I'll praise thy holy name;
Because thou only art my God,
I'll celebrate thy fame.
25 O then with me give thanks to God,
who still does gracious prove;
And let the tribute of our praise
Be endless as his love.
Scripture: Psalm 118 Languages: English
O praise the Lord, for he is good
