1Praise Jehovah! Praise the name of Jehovah. Praise him you servants of Jehovah. 2You who stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courtyard of the house of our God, 3Praise Jehovah for Jehovah is good! Sing praises to his name for it is delightful pleasant. 4For Jehovah has chosen Jacob for Himself and Israel for his special treasure property. 5For I know that Jehovah is great, and Jehovah is above all gods. 6Everything Jehovah desires he does in the heavens and in earth, and in the seas and all deep places. 7He causes the vapors to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain. He brings wind out of his storehouses. 8He destroyed the first-born of Egypt, both of man and animal. 9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his servants. 10He struck great nations and killed mighty kings, 11Sihon the king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan, 12and gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel His people. 13Your name, O Jehovah, is forever, and your memorial, O Jehovah, throughout all generations. 14For Jehovah will judge his people, and he will have pity on his servants. 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of man's hands. 16They have mouths, but they do not speak. They have eyes, but they do not see. 17They have ears, but they do not hear. There is no breath in their mouths. 18Those who make them will be like them, everyone who trusts in them. 19Bless Jehovah, O house of Israel; bless Jehovah, O house of Aaron; 20Bless Jehovah, O house of Levi. You who reverence Jehovah, bless Jehovah. 21Blessed is Jehovah out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Jehovah!
