[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.
