'''Doddridge, 1755'''


1. O praise ye the Lord, prepare a new song,
And let all his saints in full consort join;
Ye tribes all assemble, the feast to prolong,
In solemn procession with music divine.
2. O Israel, in Him that made thee rejoice,
Let all Zion's sons exult in their King;
While to martial dances you join a glad voice,
Your lutes, harps, and timbrels in harmony bring.
3. The Lord in His saints still finds His delight;
Salvation from Him he meek shall adorn;
They well may be joyful, sustained by His might,
And crowned by His favor may lift up their horn.
4. Let carpets be spread, and banquets prepared
Those altars around, whence incense ascends;
While anthems of glory though Salem are heard,
And God, whom we worship, indulgent attends.
.

9. This honor, ye saints, appointed for you,
All-grateful receive, and faithful obey;
And while His dread pleasure resistless ye do,
Still make His high praises the song of the day.}}

'''Bentley, 1788'''
1. O praise ye the Lord, prepare a new song,
And let all his saints in full chorus join; (a)
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth His praises with music divine. (b)
2. Let praise to the Lord, who made us, ascend;
Let each grateful heart be glad in its King;
For God, whom we worship, our songs will attend.
And view with complacence the offering we bring,
3. Be joyful, ye saints, sustained by His might,
And let your glad songs awake with each morn;
For those who obey Him are still His delight;
His hand with salvation the meek will adorn.
4. Then praise ye the Lord, prepare a glad song,
And let all his saints in full chorus join;
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth his praises with music divine.

Doddridge, 1755

1. O praise ye the Lord, prepare a new song,
And let all his saints in full consort join;
Ye tribes all assemble, the feast to prolong,
In solemn procession with music divine.

2. O Israel, in Him that made thee rejoice,
Let all Zion's sons exult in their King;
While to martial dances you join a glad voice,
Your lutes, harps, and timbrels in harmony bring.

3. The Lord in His saints still finds His delight;
Salvation from Him he meek shall adorn;
They well may be joyful, sustained by His might,
And crowned by His favor may lift up their horn.

Those altars around, whence incense ascends;
While anthems of glory though Salem are heard,
And God, whom we worship, indulgent attends.

And let all his saints in full chorus join; (a)

And show forth His praises with music divine. (b)

2. Let praise to the Lord, who made us, ascend;
Let each grateful heart be glad in its King;
For God, whom we worship, our songs will attend.

And let your glad songs awake with each morn;
For those who obey Him are still His delight;
His hand with salvation the meek will adorn.

4. Then praise ye the Lord, prepare a glad song,
And let all his saints in full chorus join;
With voices united the anthem prolong,
And show forth his praises with music divine.
