1 Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, ♦︎
you that by night stand in the house of the Lord.
2 Lift up your hands towards the sanctuary ♦︎
and bless the Lord.
3 The Lord who made heaven and earth ♦︎
give you blessing out of Zion.
1 Alleluia.
Praise the name of the Lord; ♦︎
give praise, you servants of the Lord,
2 You 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; ♦︎
make music to his name, for it is lovely.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself ♦︎
and Israel for his own possession.
5 For I know that the Lord is great ♦︎
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 The Lord does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth, ♦︎
in the seas and in all the deeps.
7 He brings up the clouds from the ends of the earth; ♦︎
he makes lightning with the rain
and brings the winds out of his treasuries.
8 He smote the firstborn of Egypt, ♦︎
the firstborn of man and beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, ♦︎
upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He smote many nations ♦︎
and slew mighty kings:
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, the king of Bashan, ♦︎
and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12 He gave their land as a heritage, ♦︎
a heritage for Israel his people.
13 Your name, O Lord, endures for ever ♦︎
and shall be remembered through all generations.
14 For the Lord will vindicate his people ♦︎
and have compassion on his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are but silver and gold, ♦︎
the work of human hands.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; ♦︎
eyes have they, but cannot see;
17 They have ears, but cannot hear; ♦︎
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them shall become like them, ♦︎
and so will all who put their trust in them.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel; ♦︎
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord.
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi; ♦︎
you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion, ♦︎
who dwells in Jerusalem.
Alleluia.
