1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.

2 Ye that 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 praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.

4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 ¶ For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our Lord [is] above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He 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.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 ¶ The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them.

19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

1 ¶ O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

10 ¶ To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

17 To him which smote great kings: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

18 And slew famous kings: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

19 Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

20 And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

21 And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

22 [Even] an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

23 ¶ Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:

24 And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

25 Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

26 O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.

1 ¶ By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.

3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of Zion.

4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget [her cunning].

6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.

7 ¶ Remember, O LORD, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase [it], rase [it, even] to the foundation thereof.

8 O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.

9 Happy [shall he be], that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
