Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD, 2who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. 3Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. 4For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession. 5For I know that the LORD is great; 6The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths. 7He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses. 8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, 9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. 10He struck down many nations 11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, 12He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel. 13Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations. 14For the LORD will vindicate His peopleb and will have compassion on His servants. 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, 16They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; 17they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths. 18Those who make them become like them, 19O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD; 20O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD! 21Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! Footnotes: 1 a Or Hallelu YAH , meaning Praise the LORD ; also in verses 3 and 21 14 b Or will judge His people ; see also LXX; cited in Hebrews 10:30.
