[1] PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.
[2] Ye 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 praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
[4] For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
[5] For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
[6] Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
[7] He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
[8] Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
[9] Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
[10] Who smote great 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 for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
[13] Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.
[14] For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
[15] The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
[16] They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
[17] They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
[18] They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
[19] Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
[20] Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
[21] Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
