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.
