⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.

⁸ God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

⁹ The princes of the people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth belong unto God: he is greatly exalted.

¹ Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD.

² Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

³ The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
