Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD, |
|
2
|
who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. |
|
3
|
Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. |
|
4
|
For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession. |
|
5
|
For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods. |
|
6
|
The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths. |
|
7
|
He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses. |
|
8
|
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast. |
|
9
|
He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. |
|
10
|
He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings: |
|
11
|
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. |
|
12
|
He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel. |
|
13
|
Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations. |
|
14
|
For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants. |
|
15
|
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. |
|
16
|
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; |
|
17
|
they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths. |
|
18
|
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. |
|
19
|
O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD; |
|
20
|
O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD! |
|
21
|
Blessed be the LORD from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! |
