1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2 who stand in the LORD's house, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; make music to his name, for it is lovely.
4 For the LORD chose Jacob for his own, Israel as his special treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great, and our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 All that the LORD desires he does, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all the depths.
7 He brings up the mists from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings the wind out of his storehouses.
8 He struck Egypt's firstborn, from man to beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He struck many nations and slew powerful kings—
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12 and he gave their land as a heritage, a heritage for Israel his people.
13 LORD, your name is forever; LORD, your remembrance is from generation to generation.
14 For the LORD will judge in favor of his people and take pity on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by human hands.
16 They have a mouth but cannot speak, eyes but cannot see;
17 they have ears but cannot hear, and there is no breath at all in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will become like them, and so will all who trust in them.
19 House of Israel, bless the LORD! House of Aaron, bless the LORD!
20 House of Levi, bless the LORD! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Blessed from Zion be the LORD, who dwells in Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
