2You who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

3Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good; sing praises to his name, for he is delightful.

4For the LORD has chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his congregation.

5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our LORD is above all gods.

6Whatsoever the LORD pleases, that he does in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places.

7He causes the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries.

8He smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast,

9Who sent forth his signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants,

10Who smote many nations and slew mighty kings;

11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.

13Thy name, O LORD, endures for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14For the LORD will judge his people, and he will delight in his servants.

15The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18Let them that make them become like them, and every one who trusts in them.

19Bless the LORD, O house of Israel; bless the LORD, O house of Aaron;

20Bless the LORD, O house of Levi; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD,
