Praise the LORD'S Wonderful Works. Futility of Idols.

^1 (F1)(C1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD!
Praise the name of the LORD;
Praise Him, you ^(C2)servants of the LORD,

² You who stand in the house of the LORD,
In the ^(C1)courtyards of the house of our God!

^3 (F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD, for ^(C1)the LORD is good;
^(C2)Sing praises to His name, ^(C3)for it is lovely.

⁴ For ^(F1)the LORD has ^(C1)chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel as His ^(C2)own possession.

⁵ For I know that ^(C1)the LORD is great
And that our Lord is ^(C2)above all gods.

^6 (C1)Whatever the LORD pleases, He does,
In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the ocean depths.

^7 (F1)He ^(C1)causes the ^(F2)mist to ascend from the ends of the earth,
^(F1)He ^(C2)makes lightning for the rain;
^(F1)He ^(C1)brings forth the wind from His treasuries.

^8 (F1)He ^(C1)struck the firstborn of Egypt,
^(F2)Both human firstborn and animal.

^9 (F1)He sent ^(C1)signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt,
Upon ^(C2)Pharaoh and all his servants.

^10 (F1)(C1)He ^(C2)struck many nations
And brought death to mighty kings,

^11 (C1)Sihon, king of the Amorites,
^(C2)Og, king of Bashan,
And ^(C3)all the kingdoms of Canaan;

¹² And He ^(C1)gave their land as an inheritance,
An inheritance to His people Israel.

¹³ Your ^(C1)name, LORD, is everlasting,
The mention of You, LORD, is ^(F1)throughout all generations.

¹⁴ For the LORD will ^(C1)judge His people
And ^(C2)will have compassion on His servants.

¹⁵ The ^(C1)idols of the nations are nothing but silver and gold,
The work of human 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 become like them,
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹ House of ^(C1)Israel, bless the LORD;
House of Aaron, bless the LORD;

²⁰ House of Levi, bless the LORD;
You ^(C1)who ^(F1)revere the LORD, bless the LORD.

²¹ Blessed be the LORD ^(C1)from Zion,
Who ^(C2)dwells in Jerusalem.
^(F1)Praise ^(F2)the LORD!
