To praise him, to bless him (Leonard Bernstein)

I will sing the Lord a new song,

To praise him, to bless him, to bless the Lord.

I will sing His praises while I live

All of my days.

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord,

Blessed is the man who praises him.

Lauda Lauda Laude

And walks in his ways.

I will lift up my eyes

To the hills from whence comes my help

I will lift up my voice to the Lord

Singing Lauda, Laude

For the Lord is my shade,

Is the shade upon my right hand

And the sun shall not smite me by day

Nor the moon by night

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord,

Lauda Lauda Laude

And walks in his ways.
