Original text and translations

English text

Sing praises to the Lord, O ye saints of his: give thanks unto him for a remembrance of his holiness.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his name: bring presents and come into his courts.
For who is God, but the Lord: or who hath any strength except God?
The Lord is high above all people: and his glory above the heav’ns.
Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord: be joyful, all ye that are true of heart.
Hallelujah.
