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 ye 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.
