English text
O be joyful unto the Lord; make his praise to be glorious.
O sing praises unto his name.
Sing praises unto the Lord who made the heaven and earth: who spake and they were made.
Who stilleth the raging of the sea, the noise of his waves and the madness of the people.
O come, let us worship and fall down and kneel before the Lord our maker:
for he is a great God and we are the sheep of his hand.
Let every tongue his praise proclaim.
Hallelujah. Amen.
