English text
- Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people: ascribe unto the Lord worship and pow'r.
- Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto His Name.
- Let the whole earth stand in awe of Him.
- Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord is King: and that he shall judge the people righteously.
- Let the whole earth stand in awe of Him.
- O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
- Sing to the Lord, praise his Name: be telling of his salvation from day to day, and his wonders unto all people.
- As for the gods of the heathen, they are but idols.
- Their idols are silver and gold: even the work of men's hands.
- They have mouths, and speak not: eyes have they, and see not.
- They have ears, and hear not: noses have they, and smell not.
- They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
- They that make them are like unto them: and so are all such as put their trust in them.
- As for our God, He is in heaven: He hath done whatsoever pleased Him.
- The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us: He shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
- He shall bless them that fear the Lord: both small and great.
- Ye are the blessed of the Lord: you and your children.
- Ye are the blessed of the Lord: who made heaven and earth.
