1 | Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise 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 psalms to his name, for it is sweet. |
4 | For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession. |
5 | For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is before all gods. |
6 | All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places. |
7 | He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses. |
8 | He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle. |
9 | He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants. |
10 | He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong 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 an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel. |
13 | Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation. |
14 | For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants. |
15 | The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men. |
16 | They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see. |
17 | They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths. |
18 | Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust 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. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord. |
21 | The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem. |
