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. |
