1
Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD,
2
you 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 to his name, for he is gracious!
4
For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.
5
For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6
Whatever the LORD pleases he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.
7
He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
8
He it was who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of beast;
9
who in thy midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10
who smote many nations and slew mighty kings,
