Representative Text

1 Exalt the LORD, his praise proclaim;
all you his servants, praise his name,
who in the LORD's house ever stand

The LORD is good, his praise proclaim;
since it is pleasant, praise his name.

and his beloved treasure makes.

The LORD performs what he decrees,
in heaven and earth, in depths and seas.
He makes the vapors to ascend
in clouds from earth's remotest end;
the lightnings flash at his command;
he holds the tempest in his hand.

3 Exalt the LORD, his praise proclaim;
all you his servants, praise his name,
who in the LORD's house ever stand
and humbly serve at his command.
Forever praise and bless his name,
and in the church his praise proclaim.
In Zion is his dwelling place;
O praise the LORD, show forth his grace.
