M. Kings of the earth and all people;

C.

Princes and all judges of the earth;

Young men and maidens, old men and children,

Praise the name of the Lord.

For His name alone is excellent,

And His praise is above heaven and earth.
He increaseth the glory of His people.

All His holy ones shall praise Him.
Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can show forth all His praise?
For His merciful kindness is great towards us,
And the truth of the Lord endureth forever.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,

From this time forth, and even for ever more.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof,
Let the Lord's name be praised.

Let the congregation of the people praise Him.

Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord.

All. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy mine.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on

heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

C.

And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

And forget not all His benefits.

Who forgiveth all thy sins;

Who healeth all thy infirmities;

Who saveth thy life from destruction;

Who crowneth thee with mercy and loving kindness;

Who filleth the morning of thy life with good;

Who reneweth thy youth like the eagle's.

The Lord executeth righteousness;

He showeth judgment to all who are oppressed.

The Lord is merciful and gracious,

Long suffering and of great goodness.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins,

Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth,

So great is His mercy towards those who fear Him.

As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children,

So the Lord pitieth those who fear Him.

For He knoweth our frame,

He remembereth that we are dust.

M.

C.

The days of man are but as grass,

As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
The wind passeth over it, and it is gone,

And the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him,

And His righteousness to children's children,

Even to such as keep His covenants.

And to those who remember His commandments to do

them.

The Lord has established His throne in the heavens;

And His kingdom ruleth over all.

Bless the Lord! ye angels of His who excel in strength
Ye who do His commandments and hearken unto the
voice of His words.

Bless the Lord! all ye His hosts.

Ye servants of His who do His pleasure.

Bless the Lord, all His works in all places of His dominion

Bless the Lord! O my soul!

All. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

Choir. Amen.

All. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.

VII.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!

O Lord, my God! Thou art very great;
Thou art clothed with honor and majesty ;

Thou deckest Thyself with light as with a garment;
Thou spreadest out the heavens like a curtain;

Thou makest the clouds Thy chariot;

Thou ridest on the wings of the wind;

Thou makest the flaming lightnings Thy ministers;

Thou laidest the foundations of the earth,

That it should not be removed forever;

Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment;

Thou hast set a bound which the waters may not pass;

Thou pourest out the springs into rivers,

Beside them the fowls of the air have their habitation;

Thou waterest the hills from Thy clouds;

The earth is filled with the fruits of Thy works.

Thou causest grass to spring up for cattle,

And green herbs for the service of man;

That Thou mayest bring forth food out of the earth,
And bread to strengthen the heart of man.
Thou hast set the moon to mark the seasons;

The sun knoweth when to go down.

O Lord! how manifold are Thy works!

In wisdom hast Thou made them all;

C.

So is the great and wide sea.

All creatures look up unto Thee

That Thou mayest give them their meat in due season. Thou givest it them, and they gather it;

Thou openest Thy hand, they are filled with good,

Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled;

Thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to

dust;

Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created,

And Thou renewest the face of the earth.
The glory of the Lord shall endure forever.
The Lord shall rejoice in His works.
He looketh upon the earth, and it trembleth.
He toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live.

I will praise my God while I have my being.

My meditation of Him shall be sweet.

I will be glad in the Lord.

All. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation. Deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

All. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.

Choir. Amen.
