Listen to this chapter • 2:00

[1] Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD,

[2] who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God!

[3] Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant!

[4] For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.

[5] For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

[6] Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.

[7] He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

[8] He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast;

[9] who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;

[10] who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings,

[11] Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

[12] and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.

[13] Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, throughout all ages.

[14] For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

[15] The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

[16] They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;

[17] they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.

[18] Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them!

[19] O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!

[20] O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

[21] Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
