2 you who serve in the Lord’S Temple, in the courtyard of the Temple of our God.
3 Praise the Lord, because he is good. Praise his name, because it brings such joy!
4 The Lord chose Jacob to be his own. Yes, he chose Israel to be his own people.
5 I know the Lord is great! Our Lord is greater than all the gods!
6 The Lord does whatever he wants, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the deep oceans.
7 He brings the clouds from the other side of the earth. He sends the lightning and the rain, and he opens the doors to release the winds.
8 He destroyed the firstborn males of the people in Egypt and their animals.
