1  Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord; ye servants of the Lord, praise ye.

2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord; in the halls or foreyards of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

4 For the Lord chose Jacob to him-self; [and] Israel into possession to himself.

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

6 The Lord made all things, what-ever things he would, in heaven and in earth; in the sea, and in all depths of waters.

7 He led out clouds from the farthest part of [the] earth; and made light-nings into rain. Which bringeth forth winds from his treasures [or treasuries];

8 which killed the first begotten things of Egypt, from man unto beast.

9 He sent out signs and great wonders, in the middle of thee, thou Egypt; into Pharaoh, and into all his servants.

10 Which smote many folks; and killed strong kings.

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

12 And he gave the land of them heritage; to be heritage to Israel, his people.

13 Lord, thy name is without end; Lord, thy memorial be in generation and into generation.

14 For the Lord shall deem his people; and he shall be prayed in his servants.

15 The simulacra of heathen men be silver and gold; the works of the hands of men.

16 Those images have a mouth, and shall not speak; those [or they] have eyes, and shall not see.

17 Those [or they] have ears, and shall not hear; for there is no spirit in the mouth of them.

18 They that make those [things], be made like them; and all that trust in them.

19 The house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; the house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.

20 The house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that dread the Lord, bless ye the Lord.

21 Blessed be the Lord of Zion; that dwelleth in Jerusalem.
