Thy Name shall still endure, and thy
memorial likewise,
Throughout all generations that
are now, or shall arise.
The Lord most surely will avenge
his people all with speed,
And to his servants he will show
favor in time of need.
The idols of the heathen which
are in the coasts and lands,
Of silver and of gold they be,
the work e'en of men's hands.
They have their mouths, but cannot speak,
and eyes that have no sight;
And they have ears, but nothing hear
their mouths are breathless quite.
Wherefore all they are like to them
that so do set them forth,
And likewise those that in them trust,
Or think they be ought worth.
O all ye house of Israel,
see that ye praise the Lord;
And ye that be of Aaron's house,
praise him with one accord.
And ye that be of Levi's house,
praise ye likewise the Lord:
All ye that stand in awe of him,
praise him with one accord.
And out of Zion sound his praise,
the great praise of the Lord,
Who dwelleth in Jerusalem,
praise him with one accord.
