1
Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2
you who stand in the Lord's Temple and in the Temple courtyards.
3
Praise the Lord, because he is good; sing praises to him, because it is pleasant.
4
The Lord has chosen the people of Jacob for himself; he has chosen the people of Israel for his very own.
5
I know that the Lord is great. Our Lord is greater than all the gods.
6
The Lord does what he pleases, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the deep oceans.
7
He brings the clouds from the ends of the earth. He sends the lightning with the rain. He brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8
He destroyed the firstborn sons in Egypt the firstborn of both people and animals.
9
He did many signs and miracles in Egypt against the king and his servants.
10
He defeated many nations and killed powerful kings:
11
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
12
Then he gave their land as a gift, a gift to his people, the Israelites.
