And the truth of the Lord endureth forever;
Praise ye the Lord!

Refrain:
Praise Him, praise Him!
Praise ye the Lord!
Praise Him, praise Him!
Praise ye the Lord!

2 Oh, praise the Lord, all ye nations!

And preserveth the souls of all who will trust Him;
Praise ye the Lord! [Refrain]

For His love unfailing;
He doth tenderly lead in the path of peace,
And His name is a refuge from the oppressor;
Praise ye the Lord! [Refrain]
