1Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.
2You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,
2Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
3Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.
3Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
4For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.
5For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.
6Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.
7He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.
8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
9Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;
10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.
12And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.
13Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.
14For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.
14For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
15The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;
16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.
17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.
18They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:
19Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
