1. Hallelujah!Praise the name of the Lord!Praise, you servants of the Lord,
2. Who stand in the house of the Lord,in the courts of the house of our God!
3. Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good!Sing to his name, for it brings joy!
4. For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,Israel as his treasured possession.
5. For I know that the Lord is great,that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6. Whatever the Lord desireshe does in heaven and on earth,in the seas and all the depths.
7. It is he who raises storm clouds from the end of the earth,makes lightning for the rain,and brings forth wind from his storehouse.
8. He struck down Egypt’s firstborn,of human being and beast alike,
9. And sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt,against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10. It is he who struck down many nations,and slew mighty kings—
11. Sihon, king of the Amorites,and Og, king of Bashan,all the kings of Canaan—
12. And made their land a heritage,a heritage for Israel his people.
13. O Lord, your name is forever,your renown, from generation to generation!
