¹ Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD,² you that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God!³ Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for he is gracious!⁴ For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.

⁵ For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.⁶ Whatever the LORD pleases he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.⁷ He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.⁸ He it was who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of beast;⁹ who in thy midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;¹⁰ who smote many nations and slew mighty kings,¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,¹² and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.¹³ Thy name, O LORD, endures for ever, thy renown, O LORD, throughout all ages.¹⁴ For the LORD will vindicate his people, and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.¹⁶ They have mouths, but they speak not, they have eyes, but they see not,¹⁷ they have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.¹⁸ Like them be those who make them! --yea, every one who trusts in them!¹⁹ O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!²⁰ O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!²¹ Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
