1Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O
2servants of the LORD,
2
who
3stand in the house of the LORD, in
4the courts of the house of our God!
3
Praise the LORD, for
5the LORD is good; sing to his name,
6for it is pleasant!
4
For the LORD has
7chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his
8own possession.
5
For I know that
9the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6
10Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.
7
11He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who
12makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his
13storehouses.
8
He it was who
14struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast;
9
who in your midst, O Egypt, sent
15signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10
16who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings,
11
17Sihon, king of the Amorites, and
18Og, king of Bashan, and
19all the kingdoms of Canaan,
