 1  Praise you the Lord, with your whole heart give praise,
    Where all the upright assemble for God;
    His glorious works shall forever endure,
    Worthy of honor and praise.
    There is no end unto His righteousness,
    Great works of wonder He makes,
    That we may know the Eternal is good,
    Full of compassion and grace.

 2  For those who fear Him our God will provide;
    Ever His cov'nant He will not forget;
    He showed His people the pow'r of His works,
    Lands of the nations to gain.
    Judgment and truth are the works of His hands
    All His commandments are sure
    They are all done in uprightness and truth;
    They shall forever endure.

 3  Unto His people redemption He sent, 
    God has commanded His cov'nant always;
    Steadfast and sure it forever will stand,
    Holy and rev'rend His name.
    Wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord;
    God's praise endureth for aye;
    His laws impart understanding and grace
    To those who heed and obey.
