Psalm CL
From Paraphrase on the Psalms of David in Metre (1692)
Praise God: Prise him where faithful men
Do in his holy place draw near.
Praise him in the high firmament,
Where his great power doth appear.
Praise him for all his mighty acts,
Their glory in his praises tell;
His Greatness and Perfection praise,
Which doth all creatures reach excel.
With Trumpets and shrill Cornet's noise,
Sound forth his glorious praise on high;
Praise him with the melodious harp,
And with the pleasant Psaltery.
Praise him with Timbrel and with Flute,
With Organs and string'd Harpsicals,
(With joyful and well-tuned hearts)
Praise him upon the loud Cymbals.
On the loud Cymbals praise ye him:
Let every living thing accord
That breath enjoys, to give God praise.
All joyn to praise our glorious Lord.
