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. |
