1 Praise ye the Lord, the Lord's name praise; his servants, praise ye God. 2 Who stand in God's house, in the courts of our God make abode. 3 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good; unto him praises sing: Sing praises to his name, because it is a pleasant thing.
4 For Jacob to himself the Lord did choose of his good pleasure, And he hath chosen Israel for his peculiar treasure. 5 Because I know assuredly the Lord is very great, And that our Lord above all gods in glory hath his seat.
6 What things soever pleased the Lord, that in the heav'n did he, And in the earth, the seas, and all the places deep that be. 7 He from the ends of earth doth make the vapors to ascend; With rain he lightnings makes, and wind doth from his treasures send.
8 Egypt's first-born, from man to beast 9 who smote. Strange tokens he On Pharaoh and his servants sent, Egypt, in midst of thee. 10 He smote great nations, slew great kings: 11 Sihon of Heshbon king, And Og of Bashan, and to naught did Canaan's kingdoms bring:
12 And for a wealthy heritage their pleasant land he gave, An heritage which Israel, his chosen folk, should have. 13 Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure, and thy memorial With honor shall continued be to generations all.
14 For why? the righteous God will judge his people righteously; Concerning those that do him serve, himself repent will he. 15 The idols of the nätions of silver are and gold, And by the hands of men is made their fäshion and mold.
16 Mouths have they, but they do not speak; eyes, but they do not see; 17 Ears have they, but hear not; and in their mouths no breathing be. 18 Their makers are like them; so are all that on them rely. 19 O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God, O Aaron's family.
20 O bless the Lord, of Levi's house ye who his servants are; And bless the holy name of God, all ye the Lord that fear. 21 And blessèd be the Lord our God from Zion's holy hill, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. The Lord O praise ye still.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. 2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, 3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. 5 ¶ For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. 7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. 8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. 10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; 11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: 12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. 13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. 14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. 15 ¶ The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; 17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. 19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: 20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. 21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
