Hallelujah! Praise the Name of the ; * give praise, you servants of the ,

You who stand in the house of the, * in the courts of the house of our God.

Praise the, for the is good; * sing praises to his Name, for it is lovely.

For the has chosen Jacob for himself * and Israel for his own possession.

For I know that the is great, * and that our Lord is above all gods.

The does whatever pleases him, in heaven and on earth, * in the seas and all the deeps.

He brings up rain clouds from the ends of the earth; * he sends out lightning with the rain, and brings the winds out of his storehouse.

It was he who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, * the firstborn both of man and beast.

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, * against Pharaoh and all his servants.

He overthrew many nations * and put mighty kings to death:

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

He gave their land to be an inheritance, * an inheritance for Israel his people.
