1Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD, (Ps 104:35; Ps 113:1)2who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God! (Ps 92:13; Ps 134:1)3Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant![1] (Ps 52:9; Ps 100:5; Ps 147:1)4For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession. (Ex 19:5; De 7:6; De 7:7; De 10:15; Ps 105:6)5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. (Ps 95:3)6Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. (Ps 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. (Job 28:25; Job 28:26; Job 38:22; Job 38:25; Jer 10:13; Jer 51:16; Zec 10:1)8He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast; (Ps 78:51)9who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants; (De 6:22)10who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings, (Ps 136:17)11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan, (Nu 21:21; Nu 21:33; De 29:7; Jos 12:7)12and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel. (De 29:8; Ps 78:55)13Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown,[2] O LORD, throughout all ages. (Ex 3:15; Ps 102:12)14For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. (De 32:36; Ps 90:13)15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. (Ps 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! (Ps 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! (Ps 128:5; Ps 132:13; Ps 132:14; Ps 135:1)
