English text

From the Bible, Psalm 147:12, Isaiah 49:23, Psalm 48:8, Psalm 21:13.

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem, praise thy God, O Sion.

For kings shall be thy nursing fathers and queens thy nursing mothers.

As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of our God, God upholdeth the same for ever.

Be thou exalted, Lord in thine own strength.

So will we sing, and praise thy power.

Hallelujah.
