2 who stand in the Lord's house,in the Temple of our God.
3 Praise the Lord, because he is good;sing praises to his name, because he is kind.
4 He chose Jacob for himself,the people of Israel for his own.
5 I know that our Lord is great,greater than all the gods.
6 He does whatever he wishesin heaven and on earth,in the seas and in the depths below.
7 He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth;he makes lightning for the storms,and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.
8 In Egypt he killed all the firstbornof people and animals alike.
