| 1 | Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD, |
| 2 | you 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 to his name, for he is gracious! |
| 4 | For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as 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 on earth, in the seas and all deeps. |
| 7 | He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. |
| 8 | He it was who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of beast; |
| 9 | who in thy midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants; |
| 10 | who 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 gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel. |
| 13 | Thy name, O LORD, endures for ever, thy renown, O LORD, throughout all ages. |
| 14 | For the LORD will vindicate his people, and have compassion on his servants. |
| 15 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
| 16 | They have mouths, but they speak not, they have eyes, but they see not, |
| 17 | they have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths. |
| 18 | Like them be those who make them! -- yea, every one 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 that fear the LORD, bless the LORD! |
| 21 | Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD! |
