1Praise the Lord! Praise the Name of the Lord; offer praise, you servants of the Lord-
2who stand in the House of the Lord, in the courtyards of the House of our God.
3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to His Name, for He is pleasant.
4For God has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His beloved treasure.
5For I know that the Lord is great, our Master is greater than all supernal beings.
6All that the Lord desired He has done, in the heavens and on earth, in the seas and the depths.
7He causes mists to rise from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings forth the wind from His vaults.
8It was He who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of man and beast.
9He sent signs and wonders into the midst of Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10It was He who struck down many nations, and slew mighty kings:
11Sichon, king of the Amorites; Og, king of Bashan; and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12And He gave their lands as a heritage, a heritage to His people Israel.
13Lord, Your Name is forever; Lord, Your remembrance is throughout all generations.
14Indeed, the Lord will judge on behalf of His people, and have compassion on His servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the product of human hands.
16They have a mouth, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
17they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouth.
18Like them will their makers become-all who trust in them.
19House of Israel, bless the Lord; House of Aaron, bless the Lord;
20House of Levi, bless the Lord; you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21Blessed is the Lord from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
