God be merciful unto us, and bless us,* and shew us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;
2 That thy way may be known upon earth,* thy saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise thee, O God;* yea, let all the people praise thee.
4 O let the nations rejoice and be glad;* for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
5 Let the people praise thee, O God;* yea, let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth bring forth her increase;* and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
7 God shall bless us;* and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,* and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,* world without end. Amen.

O praise God in his holiness: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him in his noble acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him in the sound of the trumpet: praise him upon the lute and harp.
Praise him in the timbrels and dances: praise him upon the strings and pipe.
Praise him upon the well-tuned cymbals: praise him upon the loud cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath: praise the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
