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.

36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, Come, let us return and visit the believers* in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord and see how they are doing. 37Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark. 38But Paul decided not to take with them one who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not accompanied them in the work. 39The disagreement became so sharp that they parted company; Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus. 40But Paul chose Silas and set out, the believers* commending him to the grace of the Lord. 41He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
