Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [ye his] servants,
—
who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
—
Praise ye the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
—
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
—
For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;
—
all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.
—
Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
—
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.
—
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.
—
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
—
Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
—
and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
—
O Lord, thy name [endures] for ever, and thy memorial to all generations.
—
For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
—
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
—
They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see;
—
they have ears, but they cannot hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
—
Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
—
O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord:
—
O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
—
Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
