| 2you who are standing in the LORD's Temple, in the courtyards of the house of our God. | 2You who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God! |
| 3Praise the LORD, because the LORD is good; Sing to his name, for he is gracious. | 3Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. |
| 4It is Jacob whom the LORD chose for himself— Israel as his personal possession. | 4For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His own possession. |
| 5Indeed, I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord surpasses all gods. | 5For I know that the LORD is great And that our Lord is above all gods. |
| 6The LORD does whatever pleases him in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all its deep regions. | 6Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. |
| 7He makes the clouds rise from the ends of the earth, fashioning lightning for the rain, bringing the wind from his storehouses. | 7He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries. |
| 8It was the LORD who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, including both men and animals. | 8He smote the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast. |
| 9He sent signs and wonders among you, Egypt, before Pharaoh and all his servants. | 9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. |
| 10He struck down many nations, killing many kings— | 10He smote many nations And slew mighty kings, |
| 11Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and every kingdom of Canaan— | 11Sihon, king of the Amorites, And Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan; |
| 12and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel. | 12And He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. |
| 13Your name, LORD, exists forever, and your reputation, LORD, throughout the ages. | 13Your name, O LORD, is everlasting, Your remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations. |
| 14For the LORD will vindicate his people, and he will show compassion on his servants. | 14For the LORD will judge His people And will have compassion on His servants. |
| 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, worked by the hands of human beings. | 15The idols of the nations are but silver and gold, The work of man's hands. |
| 16Mouths are attributed to them, but they cannot speak; sight is attributed to them, but they cannot see; | 16They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see; |
| 17ears are attributed to them, but they do not hear, and there is no breath in their mouths. | 17They have ears, but they do not hear, Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths. |
| 18Those who craft them— and all who trust in them— will become like them. | 18Those who make them will be like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them. |

| 21Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! | 21Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! |
