Praisethe LORD!For it is goodto singpraisesto our God;For it is pleasant[and] praiseis becoming.
Yet manyof the priestsand Levitesand headsof fathers'[households], the oldmenwhohad seenthe firsttemple,weptwith a loudvoicewhen the foundationof thishousewas laidbefore their eyes,while manyshoutedaloudfor joy,
Praisethe LORD,for the LORDis good;Singpraisesto His name,for it is lovely.
Singfor joyin the LORD,O you righteousones;Praiseis becomingto the upright.
ThesethingsI rememberand I pourout my soulwithinme. For I used to goalongwith the throng[and] leadthem in processionto the houseof God,With the voiceof joyand thanksgiving,a multitudekeepingfestival.
It is goodto givethanksto the LORDAnd to singpraisesto Your name,O MostHigh;
To declareYour lovingkindnessin the morningAnd Your faithfulnessby night,
