2Lift up your hands in the sanctuary
and praise the LORD.

3May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth,
bless you from Zion.

2you who minister in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.

3Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

4For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.

5I know that the LORD is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.

6The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.

7He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of men and animals.

9He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings—

11Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan
and all the kings of Canaan—

12and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.

13Your name, O LORD, endures forever,
your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

14For the LORD will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.

15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.

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

17they have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.

18Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.

19O house of Israel, praise the LORD;
O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

20O house of Levi, praise the LORD;
you who fear him, praise the LORD.

21Praise be to the LORD from Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD.

4to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.

5who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.

6who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.

7who made the great lights—
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

10to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

12with a mighty hand and outstretched arm;
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

14and brought Israel through the midst of it,
His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

His love endures forever.

23to the One who remembered us in our low estate
His love endures forever.

24and freed us from our enemies,
His love endures forever.

25and who gives food to every creature.
His love endures forever.

26Give thanks to the God of heaven.
His love endures forever.

2There on the poplars
we hung our harps,

3for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

4How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?

5If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.

6May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.

7Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did
on the day Jerusalem fell.
“Tear it down,” they cried,
“tear it down to its foundations!”

8O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us—

9he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
