Lasset uns doch den Herren, unsern Gott, loben und erzählen alle seine Werke:
Der uns von Mutterleibe an lebendig erhält und thut uns alles Guts.
Lasset uns doch dem Herren ein gut neues Lied singen,
loben ihn in allen seinen Thaten,der allem Fleische Speise giebt,
der dem Vieh sein Futter giebt,den jungen Raben, die ihn anrufen.
Lasset uns doch den Herren, unsern Gott preisen,
Und mit einander seinen Namen erhöhen.
Kommet herzu, lasset uns dem Herren frohlocken und jauchzen dem Hort unseres Heils!

Der uns früh Regen und spat Regen zu rechter Zeit giebet
und das Jahr krönet mit seinen Gütern, und lässet seine Fussstapfen von Fett triefen.
Lasset uns mit Danken für sein Angesicht kommen, und mit Psalmen ihm jauchzen.
Der den Frieden schaffet, inwendig unsern Mauern und Glück in unsern Palästen.
Preise nun, Jerusalem, den Herren, lobe, Zion, deinen Gott!

Denn er machet feste die Riegel deiner Thor und sättiget unsere Kinder,die drinnen,
mit dem besten Weizen.
Singet um einander, singet dem Herren!
Alle Welt soll jauchzen, rühmen, loben.

Der den Kriegen steuert, der Bogen zubricht und Spiesse zerschlägt.
Nehmet, gebet her den Psalter und Harfen,
lobet ihn mit Saiten und Pfeifen.
Denn der Herre Zebaoth ist mit uns, der Gott Jakobs ist unser Schutz.

Danket alle Gott, dem Herren Zebaoth, dass er so gnädig ist und uns immerdar Guts thut.

Let us now praise the Lord, our God, and declare all his works:
Who has given us life from the womb from whom all good things come.
Let us sing a good new song to the Lord and praise him for all his deeds,
Who give all mankind their food,
Who gives fodder to the cattle: and feeds the young ravens that call upon him.
Let us now praise the Lord, our God.
and let us exalt his name together.
O come, let us sing to the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Who sends rain, both early and late, in due season:
Who crowns the year with his goodness; and whose paths drop fatness.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Who brings peace within our walls, and prosperity within our palaces.
Praise now, Jerusalem, the Lord; Zion, praise your God!

For he has strengthened the bars on our gates; he hath satisfied our children
with the finest wheat.
Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving!
Let the world needs to shout, praise, praise.

Who makes wars to cease; who breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in two.
Take up and bring here psaltery and harp,
Praise him upon the strings and pipe!
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

Let all give thanks to our God, the Lord of hosts who is so gracious and will do good to us forever.
