[1] Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
[2] who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
[3] Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
[4] For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
[5] For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
[6] The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
[7] He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
[8] He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
[9] He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
[10] He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
[11] Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
[12] He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
[13] Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
[14] For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
[15] The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
[16] They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
[17] they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
[18] Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust 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 who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
[21] Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
