1Praise ye Jehovah . Praise ye the name of Jehovah ; Praise him , O ye servants of Jehovah , 2Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah , In the courts of the house of our God . 3Praise ye Jehovah ; for Jehovah is good : Sing praises unto his name ; for it is pleasant .
God's Sovereignty Over Idols
4For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, And Israel for his own possession . 5For I know that Jehovah is great , And that our Lord is above all gods. 6Whatsoever Jehovah pleased , that hath he done , In heaven and in earth , in the seas and in all deeps ; 7Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth ; Who maketh lightnings for the rain ; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries; 8Who smote the first-born of Egypt , Both of man and beast;
God's Mighty Acts
9Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee , O Egypt , Upon Pharaoh , and upon all his servants ; 10Who smote many nations , And slew mighty kings , 11Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan , And all the kingdoms of Canaan , 12And gave their land for a heritage , A heritage unto Israel his people .
The Eternal Nature of God
13Thy name , O Jehovah , endureth for ever ; Thy memorial name , O Jehovah , throughout all generations . 14For Jehovah will judge his people , And repent himself concerning his servants . 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold , The work of men’s hands . 16They have mouths , but they speak not ; Eyes have they , but they see not ; 17They have ears, but they hear not ; Neither is there any breath in their mouths . 18They that make them shall be like unto them ; Yea, every one that trusteth in them . 19O house of Israel , bless ye Jehovah : O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah : 20O house of Levi , bless ye Jehovah : Ye that fear Jehovah , bless ye Jehovah . 21Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion , Who dwelleth at Jerusalem . Praise ye Jehovah .
