1 I will give thanks unto the Lord with my | whole | heart ||

secretly among the | faith•ful, and | in the • congre- | gation. ||

2 The works of the | Lord are | great ||

sought | out of • all | 3 them that have | pleasure there•in. ||

3 His work is worthy to be | praised and • had in | honour ||

and his | righteous•ness en- | 3 dureth for | ever. ||

4 The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done his | 3 marvellous | works ||

that they | 3 ought to be | had • in re- | membrance. ||

5 He hath given meat unto | them that | fear him ||

he shall | 3 ever be | mindful • of his | cove•nant. ||

6 He hath shewed his people the | power • of his | works ||

that he may | 3 give them the | heritage • of the | heathen. ||

7 The works of his hands are | veri•ty and | judgement ||

3 all | his com- | 3 mandments are | true. ||

8 They stand fast for | 3 ever and | ever ||

and are | done in | truth and | equi•ty. ||

9 He sent redemption | 3 unto his | people ||

he hath commanded his covenant for ever; * holy and | rever•end | is his | Name. ||

10 The fear of the Lord is the be- | 3 ginning of | wisdom ||

a good understanding have all they that do thereafter; * the | praise of • it en- | 3 dureth for | ever. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
