[1] Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
[2] You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
[3] Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
[4] For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
[5] For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
[6] Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
[7] He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
[8] He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
[9] He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
[10] He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
[11] Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
[12] And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
[13] Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
[14] For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
[15] The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
[16] They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
[17] They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
[18] Let them that make them be like to them: and 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: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
[21] Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
