O sing unto God,
Sing praises to his name, and rejoyce before him,
rejoyce before him;
He is a father of the fatherless,
He defendeth the cause of the widows,
and bringeth the pris'ners out of captivity.
Praised be the Lord daily,
ev'n the God who helpeth us,
and poureth his benefits upon us.
He is our God,
ev'n the God of whom cometh Salvation;
God is the Lord,
By whom we escape death.
Sing unto God,
O ye Kingdoms of the earth
O sing prai-ses un-to the Lord.
