1 Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lordpraise Him, O servants of the Lord,
2 you who 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 has chosen Jacob for Himself,and Israel for His special possession.
5 For I know that the Lord is great,and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever the Lord pleases,He does in heaven and on earth,in the seas and all the depths.
7 He causes the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth;He makes lightning for the rain;He brings the wind out from His storehouses.
