Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise {him}, O ye servants of the LORD.
2Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
3Praise the LORD; for the LORD {is} good: sing praises unto his name; for {it is} pleasant.
4For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, {and} Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5For I know that the LORD {is} great, and {that} our Lord {is} above all gods.
6Whatsoever the LORD pleased, {that} did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. {both...: Heb. from man unto beast}
9{Who} sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12And gave their land {for} an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13Thy name, O LORD, {endureth} for ever; {and} thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. {throughout...: Heb. to generation and generation}
14For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15The idols of the heathen {are} silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there {any} breath in their mouths.
18They that make them are like unto them: {so is} every one that trusteth in them.
19Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
20Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
21Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
