The words
Praise to the LORD! I will extol him while gathering with the upright. Great are the works of God, and pondered by all who in them take delight.
His deeds are glorious and majestic; his righteousness endures always. He caused his works to be remembered; kind is the LORD and full of grace.
Food he provides for those who fear him; his covenant for ever stands. His mighty works he showed his people by giving them the nations’ lands.
Faithful and just are all his actions; all his commands are faithful too, Steadfast for ever and for ever. The works of God are right and true.
He sent redemption for his people; his covenant remains the same, Ordained by him throughout all ages— holy and awesome is his name.
Fear of the LORD gives rise to wisdom; All those who walk in upright ways Have insight and good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
