4 Let earth her tribute pay:
Praise him ye dreadful whales,
And fish that through the sea
Glide swift with glitt'ring scales;
Fire, hail, and snow,

And misty air,

And winds that where

He bids them blow.

5 By hills and mountains, all,
In grateful concert join'd;
By cedars stately tall,

And trees for fruit design'd;
By every beast,

And creeping thing,
And fowl of wing,

His name be blest,

6 Let all of highest birth,

With those of humbler name,
And judges of the earth,

His matchless praise proclaim:
In this design,

Let youths with maids,
And hoary heads
With children, join.

7 United zeal be shown

His wondrous fame to raise,
Whose glorious Name alone
Deserves our endless praise:
Earth's utmost ends

His power obey;

His glorious sway

The sky transcends.

8 His chosen saints to grace,
He sets them up on high;

And favors Israel's race,
Who still to him are nigh:

O therefore raise

Your grateful voice,
And still rejoice

The LORD to praise!

1 O PRAISE the LORD in that blest place
From whence his goodness largely flows;
Praise him in heaven, where he his face,
Unveil'd, in perfect glory shows.

2 Praise him for all the mighty acts
Which he in our behalf has done;
His kindness this return exacts,

2

With which our praise should equal run.
3 Let the shrill trumpet's warlike voice,
Make rocks and hills his praise rebound:
Praise him with harp's melodious noise,
And gentle psalt'ry's silver sound.

4 Let them who joyful hymns compose, To cymbals set their songs of praise; To well-tuned cymbals, and to those

That loudly sound on solemn days. 5 Let all, that vital breath enjoy,

The breath he does to them afford,
In just returns of praise employ:

Let every creature praise the LORD.
