[[Praise ye the Lord.]]
[1] Praise the name of the Lord: ye servants of the Lord, praise him.
[2] Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, and in the courts of the house of our God,
[3] Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name: for it is a comely thing.
[4] For the Lord hath chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his chief treasure.
[5] For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
[6] Whatsoever pleased the Lord, that did he in heaven and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.
[7] He bringeth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with the rain: he draweth forth the wind out of his treasures.
[8] He smote the first born of Egypt both of man and beast.
[9] He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
[10] He smote many nations, and slew mighty Kings:
[11] As Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
[12] And gave their land for an inheritance, even an inheritance unto Israel his people.
[13] Thy name, O Lord, endureth forever: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.
[14] For the Lord will judge his people, and be pacified towards his servants.
[15] The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, even the work of men's hands.
[16] They have a mouth, and speak not: they have eyes and see not.
[17] They have ears and hear not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.
[18] They that make them, are like unto them: so are all that trust in them.
[19] Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.
[20] Praise the Lord, ye house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
[21] Praised be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
