1 Praise the Lord.Praise the name of the Lord;praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2 you who minister 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 praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own,Israel to be his treasured possession.
5 I know that the Lord is great,that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 The Lord does whatever pleases him,in the heavens and on the earth,in the seas and all their depths.
7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;he sends lightning with the rainand brings out the wind from his storehouses.
