Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Praise ye Jehovah; For it is good to sing praises unto our God; For it is pleasant, [and] praise is comely." — Psalms 147:1 (ASV)

Psalms 135:3 is plainly before the poet in this verse; and yet, since Psalms 33:0 is in other respects his model, it is extremely doubtful whether we should change the reading to make a complete correspondence between the verses, or suppose that the alteration was intentional, in accordance with praise is comely for the upright in Psalms 33:1. (See Notes on both the passages; compare also Psalms 92:1.)
