1Praise ye LORD. Praise ye the name of LORD. Praise, O ye servants of LORD, 2ye who stand in the house of LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. 3Praise ye LORD, for LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant. 4For LORD has chosen Jacob to himself, Israel for his own possession. 5For I know that LORD is great, and that our LORD is above all gods. 6Whatever LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps, 7who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries, 8who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast, 9who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants, 10who smote many nations, and killed mighty kings-- 11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-- 12and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people. 13Thy name, O LORD, [is] forever, thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. 14For LORD will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants. 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 16They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not. 17They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths. 18Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them. 19O house of Israel, bless ye LORD. O house of Aaron, bless ye LORD. 20O house of Levi, bless ye LORD. Ye who fear LORD, bless ye LORD. 21Blessed be LORD out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise ye LORD.
