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