The Book of Psalms

 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 ^aJacob unto himself, and Israel for his ^bpeculiar ^ctreasure.

 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 ^avapours 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 ^aSihon king of the Amorites, and ^bOg king of Bashan, and all the ^ckingdoms of Canaan:

 12 And gave their land for an ^aheritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

 13 Thy ^aname, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.

 14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will ^arepent himself concerning his servants.

 15 The ^aidols of the ^bheathen 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.
