The Psalms of David ‎#P135a

P135a. Praise ye the Lord; exalt his Name

1 Praise ye the Lord; exalt his Name,
While in his holy Courts ye wait,
Ye Saints, that to his House belong,
Or stand attending at his Gate.

2 Praise ye the Lord; the Lord is good;
To praise his Name is sweet Employ;
Isr'el he chose of old, and still
His Church is his peculiar Joy.

3 The Lord himself will judge his Saints;
He treats his Servants as his Friends;
And when he hears their sore Complaints,
Repents the Sorrows that he sends.

4 Through every Age the Lord declares
His Name, and breaks th' Oppressor's Rod;
He gives his suff'ring Servants Rest,
And will be known Th' Almighty GOD.

5 Bless ye the Lord, who taste his Love,
People and Priests exalt his Name:
Amongst his Saints he ever dwells;
His Church is his Jerusalem.
