Praise the name of the Lord;
^(A)Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
^2 (B)You who stand in the house of the Lord,
In ^(C)the courts of the house of our God,
³ Praise the Lord, for ^(D)the Lord is good;
Sing praises to His name, ^(E)for it is pleasant.
⁴ For ^(F)the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His ^[a]special treasure.

⁵ For I know that ^(G)the Lord is great,
And our Lord is above all gods.
^6 (H)Whatever the Lord pleases He does,
In heaven and in earth,
In the seas and in all deep places.
^7 (I)He causes the ^[b]vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
^(J)He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His ^(K)treasuries.

^8 (L)He ^[c]destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,
^[d]Both of man and beast.
^9 (M)He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,
^(N)Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
^10 (O)He defeated many nations
And slew mighty kings—
¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
And ^(P)all the kingdoms of Canaan—
^12 (Q)And gave their land as a ^[e]heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.

^13 (R)Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
Your fame, O Lord, throughout all generations.
^14 (S)For the Lord will judge His people,
And He will have compassion on His servants.

^15 (T)The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
¹⁷ They have ears, but they do not hear;
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

^19 (U)Bless the Lord, O house of Israel!
Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron!
²⁰ Bless the Lord, O house of Levi!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
²¹ Blessed be the Lord ^(V)out of Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem!

Praise the Lord!
