1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye
the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
2 Ye 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 praises
unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and
Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord
is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven,
and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the
earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the
wind out of his treasuries.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and
beast.
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O
Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Who smote great 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 for an heritage, an heritage
unto Israel his people.
13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy
memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will
repent himself concerning his servants.
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the
work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have
they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there
any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is 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: ye that fear the
LORD, bless the LORD.
21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at
Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
