English text

Declare His honor,

Declare His honor, His honor unto the heathen

and His wonders,

His wonders unto all people.

Glory and worship are before Him.

Power and honor are in His santuary.

The Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised.

He is more to be feared than all gods.

As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols:

but it is the Lord that made the heavens.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,

let the whole earth stand in awe of Him.

Tell it out amoung the heathen that the Lord is King,

and that it is He that hath made the round world so sure that it

cannot be moved; and how He shall judge the people righteously.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Amen.
