1 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD! Praise him, you who serve the LORD, 2 you who serve in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. 3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; celebrate his lovely name with music. 4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own special treasure. 5 I know the greatness of the LORD-- that our Lord is greater than any other god. 6 The LORD does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths. 7 He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses. 8 He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals. 9 He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people. 10 He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings-- 11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. 12 He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel. 13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever; your fame, O LORD, is known to every generation. 14 For the LORD will give justice to his people and have compassion on his servants. 15 The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. 16 They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. 17 They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell. 18 And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. 19 O Israel, praise the LORD! O priests-- descendants of Aaron-- praise the LORD! 20 O Levites, praise the LORD! All you who fear the LORD, praise the LORD! 21 The LORD be praised from Zion, for he lives here in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of GOD, praise the works of GOD. 2 All you priests on duty in GOD's temple, serving in the sacred halls of our God, 3 Shout "Hallelujah!" because GOD's so good, sing anthems to his beautiful name. 4 And why? Because GOD chose Jacob, embraced Israel as a prize possession. 5 I too give witness to the greatness of GOD, our Lord, high above all other gods. 6 He does just as he pleases--however, wherever, whenever. 7 He makes the weather--clouds and thunder, lightning and rain, wind pouring out of the north. 8 He struck down the Egyptian firstborn, both human and animal firstborn. 9 He made Egypt sit up and take notice, confronted Pharaoh and his servants with miracles. 10 Yes, he struck down great nations, he slew mighty kings-- 11 Sihon king of the Amorites, also Og of Bashan--every last one of the Canaanite kings! 12 Then he turned their land over to Israel, a gift of good land to his people. 13 GOD, your name is eternal, GOD, you'll never be out--of-date. 14 GOD stands up for his people, GOD holds the hands of his people. 15 The gods of the godless nations are mere trinkets, made for quick sale in the markets: 16 Chiseled mouths that can't talk, painted eyes that can't see, 17 Carved ears that can't hear--dead wood! cold metal! 18 Those who make and trust them become like them. 19 Family of Israel, bless GOD! Family of Aaron, bless GOD! 20 Family of Levi, bless GOD! You who fear GOD, bless GOD! 21 Oh, blessed be GOD of Zion, First Citizen of Jerusalem! Hallelujah! al

Praise ye the LORD.
