Praise becomes thee, O God, in Sion; and to thee shall the vow be performed.

Thou art wonderful in righteousness. Hearken to us, O God our Saviour; the hope of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are on the sea afar off:

Thou hast visited the earth, and saturated it; thou hast abundantly enriched it. The river of God is filled with water; thou hast prepared their food, for thus is the preparation of it.

Shout unto God, all the earth.

Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.

Come and behold the works of God; he is terrible in his counsels beyond the children of men.

Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;

For thou, O God, has proved us; thou hast tried us with fire as silver is tried.

Come, hear, and I will tell, all ye that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.

Therefore God has hearkened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us. Pause.

Let the nations, O God, give thanks to thee; let all the nations give thanks to thee.

Let the peoples, O God, give thanks to thee; let all the peoples give thanks to thee.

The earth has yielded her fruit; let God, our God bless us.

Let God bless us; and let all the ends of the earth fear him.

Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.

As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.

But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.

Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,
