1Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD.
2You who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
3praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.
4For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, and Israel as his own special treasure.
5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatever pleased the LORD, that is what he did, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all deep places.
7He makes the mists rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain. He brings the wind out of his storehouses.
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast.
10He struck down great nations, and killed mighty kings:
11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12He gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13Your name, LORD, lasts for ever; and the memory of you, LORD, goes on through all generations.
14For the LORD will judge his people, and he will have pity on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see.
17They have ears, but they do not hear; and there is no breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them are like them, and so is everyone who trusts in them.
19Bless the LORD, house of Israel. Bless the LORD, house of Aaron.
20Bless the LORD, house of Levi. You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
21Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who lives at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
