Praise the Lord
Praise the name of the Lord
Praise Him, you servants of the Lord
You who minister in the house of the Lord

Praise the Lord
In the courts of the house of our God
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good
Sing praise to His name, for that is pleasant, rely on His word

For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be His own
Israel to be His treasured possession
I know that the Lord is great
That our Lord is greater than all gods and they are not worth to mention

The Lord does whatever pleases Him
In the heavens and on the earth
In the seas and all their depths
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth

He sends lightning with the rain
And brings out the wind from his storehouses
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt
The firstborn of people and animals

He sent His signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt
Against Pharaoh and all his servants
He struck down many nations
And killed mighty kings who refused to serve us—

Sihon king of the Amorites
Og king of Bashan
And all the kings of Canaan
Yes, all the kings of Canaan —

And He gave their land as an inheritance
An inheritance to His people Israel, beloved nation
Your name, Lord, endures forever
Your renown, Lord, through all generations

For the Lord will vindicate His people
And have compassion on His servants
The idols of the nations are silver and gold
Made by human hands

They have mouths, but cannot speak
They have ears, but cannot hear
Nor is there breath in their mouths
They have eyes, but cannot see

Those who make them will be like them
And so will all who trust in them
Those who make them will be like them
Cause their nature is the same

All you Israelites, praise the Lord
House of Aaron, praise the Lord
House of Levi, praise the Lord
You who fear Him, praise the Lord

Praise be to the Lord from Zion
To Him who dwells in Jerusalem, mighty God
To Him in heaven is His throne
Praise the Lord
