1Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD, (诗104:35; 诗113:1)2who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God! (诗92:13; 诗134:1)3Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant![1] (诗52:9; 诗100:5; 诗147:1)4For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession. (出19:5; 申7:6; 申7:7; 申10:15; 诗105:6)5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. (诗95:3)6Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. (诗115:3)7He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. (伯28:25; 伯28:26; 伯38:22; 伯38:25; 耶10:13; 耶51:16; 亚10:1)8He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast; (诗78:51)9who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants; (申6:22)10who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings, (诗136:17)11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan, (民21:21; 民21:33; 申29:7; 书12:7)12and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel. (申29:8; 诗78:55)13Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown,[2] O LORD, throughout all ages. (出3:15; 诗102:12)14For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. (申32:36; 诗90:13)15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. (诗115:4)16They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;17they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.18Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.19O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD! (诗115:9)20O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!21Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD! (诗128:5; 诗132:13; 诗132:14; 诗135:1)
