1 O praise the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord;
praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2 who stand in the house of the Lord,
in the temple courts of our God.
3 Praise the Lord, for that is good; note
honour his name with psalms, for that is pleasant.
4 The Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own
and Israel as his special treasure.
5 I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever the Lord pleases,
that he does, in heaven and on earth,
in the sea, in the depths of ocean.
7 He brings up the mist from the ends of the earth,
he opens rifts note for the rain,
and brings the wind out of his storehouses.
8 He struck down all the first-born in Egypt,
both man and beast.
9 In Egypt note he sent signs and portents
against Pharaoh and all his subjects.
10 He struck down mighty nations
and slew great kings,

Book 5
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og the king of Bashan,
and all the princes of Canaan,
12 and gave their land to Israel,
to Israel his people as their patrimony.
13 O Lord, thy name endures for ever;
thy renown, O Lord, shall last for all generations.
14 The Lord will give his people justice
and have compassion on his servants.
15 The gods of the nations are idols of silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
16 They have mouths that cannot speak
and eyes that cannot see;
17 they have ears that do not hear,
and there is no breath in their nostrils. note
18 Their makers grow like them,
and so do all who trust in them.
19 O house of Israel, bless the Lord;
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord.
20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord;
you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed from Zion be the Lord
who dwells in Jerusalem.
O praise the Lord.
