1 Praise the Lord!Praise the name of the Lord;praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2 you who stand in the Lord’s Templeand in the Temple courtyards.
3 Praise the Lord, because he is good;sing praises to him, because it is pleasant.
4 The Lord has chosen the people of Jacob for himself;he has chosen the people of Israel for his very own.
5 I know that the Lord is great.Our Lord is greater than all the gods.
6 The Lord does what he pleases,in heaven and on earth,in the seas and the deep oceans.
7 He brings the clouds from the ends of the earth.He sends the lightning with the rain.He brings out the wind from his storehouses.
