1Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!

2Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God!

3Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!

4For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.

5I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord is above all gods.

6All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.

7He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.

8He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

9He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!

10He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;

11Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;

12And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.

13Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!

14For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.

15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

16They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.

17They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.

18They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.

19Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!

20Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

21Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
