| 1 | Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD, | |
| 2 | you who minister 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 praise to his name, for that is pleasant. | |
| 4 | For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession. | |
| 5 | I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods. | |
| 6 | The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. | |
| 7 | He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses. | |
| 8 | He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals. | |
| 9 | He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. | |
| 10 | He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings-- | |
| 11 | Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan and all the kings of Canaan-- | |
| 12 | and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel. | |
| 13 | Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations. | |
| 14 | For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. | |
| 15 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. | |
| 16 | They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see; | |
| 17 | they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths. | |
| 18 | Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. | |
| 19 | O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD; | |
| 20 | O house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD. | |
| 21 | Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD. | |
