That fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Bless the LORD, all ye his works, In all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul. II Hymn of the World Without Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; Thou art clothed with honour and majesty: Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain ; Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who maketh the clouds his chariot; Who walketh upon the wings of the wind; Who maketh winds his messengers; His ministers a flaming fire. Who laid the foundations of the earth, That it should not be moved for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away; They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys, Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; . That they turn not again to cover the earth. He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; They give drink to every beast of the field; By them the fowl of the heaven have their habitation, He watereth the mountains from his chambers: The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. That he may bring forth food out of the earth, And bread that strengtheneth man's heart. The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; Where the birds make their nests: As for the stork, the fir trees are her house; The high mountains are for the wild goats; He appointed the moon for seasons: Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. And to his labour until the evening. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! Both small and great beasts. There go the ships; There is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to take his pastime therein. These wait all upon thee, That thou mayest give them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, They are satisfied with good: Thou hidest thy face, They are troubled; Thou takest away their breath, And return to their dust: Thou sendest forth thy spirit, And thou renewest the face of the ground. Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being. Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in the LORD. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, And let the wicked be no more. CV National Hymn of the Promised Land O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works. Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Seek ye the LORD and his strength; Seek his face evermore. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the LORD our God: His judgements are in all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand genera tions; The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant: |
