1 Praise theLord.
Praise the name of theLord;
praise him, you servants of theLord,
2 you who minister in the house of theLord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise theLord, for theLordis good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For theLordhas chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.
5 I know that theLordis great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 TheLorddoes whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of people and animals.
9 He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings—
11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan—
12 and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Your name,Lord, endures forever,
your renown,Lord, through all generations.
14 For theLordwill vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
17 They have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
19 All you Israelites, praise theLord;
house of Aaron, praise theLord;
20 house of Levi, praise theLord;
you who fear him, praise theLord.
21 Praise be to theLordfrom Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise theLord.
