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 to His name, for it is pleasant.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,Israel for His special treasure.
5 For I know that the Lord is great,And our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever the Lord pleases He does,In heaven and in earth,In the seas and in all deep places.
7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;He makes lightning for the rain;He brings the wind out of His treasuries.
8 He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,Both of man and beast.
