[1] Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise Him, O servants of the LORD,

[2] You who 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 praises to His name, for it is lovely.

[4] For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for 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 in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

[7] He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.

[8] He smote the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

[9] He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

[10] He 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 He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.

[13] Your name, O LORD, is everlasting, Your remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations.

[14] For the LORD will judge His people And will have compassion on His servants.

[15] The idols of the nations are but silver and gold, The work of man's 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 be like them, Yes, everyone 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 who revere the LORD, bless the LORD.

[21] Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
