Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD
(Psalm 115:1–18)

1Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise the Lord.

2You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:

3praise the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing psalms to his name, for it is sweet.

4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

5For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is before all gods.

6All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.

7He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.

8He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.

9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.

10He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:

11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.

13Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.

14For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants.

15The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

16They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.

17They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.

19Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

20Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.
