Note: ancient Hebrew poetry has a tendency to have pairs of contrasting or complementary lines: in other words, the ideas ‘rhyme' rather than the sounds.

Psalm 67 God be merciful unto us, and bless us And cause his face to shine upon us That your way may be known upon earth Your saving health among all nations Let the people praise you, O God Let all the people praise you O let the nations be glad and sing for joy For you shall judge the people righteously And govern the nations upon earth. Let the people praise you, O God Let all the people praise you Then shall the earth yield her increase And God, our own God, shall bless us God shall bless us And all the ends of the earth shall fear him
	Psalm 98 O sing unto the Lord a new song For he has done marvellous things His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him the victory The Lord has made known his salvation His righteousness has he openly shewed In the sight of the heathen He has remembered his mercy and his truth Toward the house of Israel All the ends of the earth have seen The salvation of our God Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all the earth Make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise Sing unto the Lord with the harp With the harp, and the voice of a psalm With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof The world, and they that dwell therein Let the floods clap their hands Let the hills be joyful together Before the Lord; For he comes to judge the earth With righteousness shall he judge the world And the people with equity
		Psalm 148 Praise the Lord Praise the Lord from the heavens Praise him in the heights Praise him all his angels Praise him all his hosts Praise him sun and moon Praise him all stars of light Praise him heavens of heavens And waters that be above the heavens Let them praise the name of the Lord For he commanded and they were created He has also stablished them for ever and ever He has made a decree which shall not pass Praise the Lord from the earth Dragons and all deeps Fire and hail, snow and vapour Stormy wind fulfilling his word Mountains and all hills Fruitful tress and all cedars Beasts and all cattle Creeping things and flying fowl Kings of the earth and all people Princes and all judges of the earth Both young men and maidens Old men and children Let them praise the name of the Lord For his name alone is excellent His glory is above the earth and heaven He also exalts the horn of his people The praise of His saints Even of the children of Israel A people near unto him Praise the Lord
