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 to his name; for it is pleasant. |
4 | For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to 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 | Whatever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. |
7 | He causeth the vapors 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 first-born 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 a heritage, a heritage to 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 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 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, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. |
