[1] Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the
name of the Lord. [2] You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open
spaces of the house of our God, [3] Give praise to Jah, for he is good:
make melody to his name, for it is pleasing. [4] For the Lord has taken
Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property. [5] I know that the Lord is
great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods. [6] The Lord has
done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas
and in all the deep waters. [7] He makes the mists go up from the ends of
the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds
from his store-houses. [8] He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of
man and of beast. [9] He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on
Pharaoh, and on all his servants. [10] He overcame great nations, and put
strong kings to death; [11] Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of
Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; [12] And gave their land for a
heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people. [13] O Lord, your name
is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end. [14] For the Lord will
be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his
servants. [15] The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of
men's hands. [16] They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they
do not see; [17] They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in
their mouths. [18] Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone
who puts his hope in them. [19] Give praise to the Lord, O children of
Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron: [20] Give praise to the
Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.
[21] Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in
Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
