Praise
Psalm 147
1 Praise ye the LORD: for it is
good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant;
and praise is comely.
2 The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth
together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their
wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them
all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his
understanding is infinite.
6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked
down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise
upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth
rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the
mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the
young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he
taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in
those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O
Zion.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he
hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and
filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth:
his word runneth very swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the
hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand
before his cold.
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he
causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his
judgments unto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for
hisjudgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the
LORD.
Psalm 148
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD
from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his
hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars
of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that
be above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he
commanded, and they were created.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he
hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all
deeps:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind
fulfilling his word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all
cedars:
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying
fowl:
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all
judges of the earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name
alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and
heaven.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise
of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a
people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 149
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a
new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the
children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing
praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will
beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing
aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the high praises of God be
in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and
punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles
with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this
honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 150
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his
sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according
to his excellent greatness.
3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him
with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him
with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the
high sounding cymbals.
6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 47
1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm
for the sons of Korah O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto
God
with the voice of triumph.
2 For the LORD most high is terrible; he is
a great King over all the earth.
3 He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations
under our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us, the
excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound
of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto
our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye
praises with understanding.
8 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the
throne of his holiness.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together,
eventhe people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of
the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.
Psalms 96:4
For the LORD [is]
great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above
all gods.
Psalms 100:1-5
A Psalm of praise Make a joyful noise
unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD
he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we
ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, [and] into his courts
with praise: be thankful unto him, [and] bless his name. For
the LORD [is] good; his mercy [is] everlasting; and his truth
[endureth] to all generations.
