Author: N. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #85b (1640) Scripture: Psalm 147 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.
