^1 [a](a)Praise ^[b]the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord;
Praise Him, O ^(b)servants of the Lord,
² You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In the ^(c)courts of the house of our God!
^3 [c]Praise ^[d]the Lord, for ^(d)the Lord is good;
^(e)Sing praises to His name, ^(f)for it is lovely.
⁴ For ^[e]the Lord has ^(g)chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His ^[f](h)own possession.

⁵ For I know that ⁽ⁱ⁾the Lord is great
And that our Lord is ^(j)above all gods.
^6 (k)Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
^7 [g]He ^(l)causes the ^[h]vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
Who ^(m)makes lightnings for the rain,
Who ⁽ⁿ⁾brings forth the wind from His treasuries.

^8 [i]He ^(o)smote the firstborn of Egypt,
^[j]Both of man and beast.
^9 [k]He sent ^(p)signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
Upon ^(q)Pharaoh and all his servants.
^10 [l](r)He ^(s)smote many nations
And slew mighty kings,
^11 (t)Sihon, king of the Amorites,
And ^(u)Og, king of Bashan,
And ^(v)all the kingdoms of Canaan;
¹² And He ^(w)gave their land as a heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.
¹³ Your ^(x)name, O Lord, is everlasting,
Your ^[m]remembrance, O Lord, ^[n]throughout all generations.
¹⁴ For the Lord will ^(y)judge His people
And ^(z)will have compassion on His servants.
¹⁵ The ^(aa)idols of the nations are but silver and gold,
The work of man's hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but they do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
¹⁷ They have ears, but they do not hear,
Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹ O house of ^(ab)Israel, bless the Lord;
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;
²⁰ O house of Levi, bless the Lord;
You ^(ac)who ^[o]revere the Lord, bless the Lord.
²¹ Blessed be the Lord ^(ad)from Zion,
Who ^(ae)dwells in Jerusalem.
^[p]Praise ^[q]the Lord!
