With timbrel and harp Who always takes pleasure And with his salvation
with timely food supplies: and stops their hungry cries. but doth his strength disdain; no prize from him can gain. his tender love extends; with steadfast hope depends. to God their praise address; and does their children bless. with finest wheat they're fed; is done as soon as said. descend at his command; is scatter'd o'er the land. in little morsels break; secure defences make? he makes his wind to blow; in plenteous currents flow. to Jacob's sons were shown; his righteous laws are known. nor did he e'er afford
and knowledge of his word. Hallelujah.

exalt your Maker's fame, above the starry frame;
ye Cherubim
to sing his praise.
and sun, that guid'st the day;
to him your homage pay. ye heav'ns above, in liquid air.

he bids them, blow.

and trees for fruit design'd;
and creeping thing,
his Name be blest.
with those of humbler frame, his matchless praise proclaim. let youths with maids, with children join.
his wondrous fame to raise, deserves our endless praise. his pow'r obey; the sky transcends.
he sets them up on high, who still to him are nigh. your grateful voice, the Lord to praise.
CXLIX.
prepare your glad voice, assembly to sing: let Israel rejoice; be glad in their King. extol in the dance; his praises express: his saints to advance, the humble to bless.
