1
Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
2
You who 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 to His name, for it is pleasant.
4
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.
5
For I know that the Lord is great, And our Lord is above all gods.
6
Whatever the Lord pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places.
7
He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries.
8
He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10
He defeated many nations And slew mighty kings--
11
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan--
12
And gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.
