The LORD Reigns (93)

`Hallelujah! Praise the name_ / of the LORD!

`Praise_ him, you servants / of the LORD,

`you who stand_ in the house_ / of the LORD,

`in the courts_ of the house_ / of our God.

`Praise the LORD_, for the / LORD is good.

Sing `praises to his name, for it is / love~ ly.

`For the LORD has chosen Jacob / for himself,

`Israel_ for his / own possession.

(Ref)

For `I know that the / LORD is great,

that `our Lord is a / bove all gods.

`Whatever the LORD_ pleases, / he~ does,

in `heaven and in earth_, in the seas and / in all deeps. +

`He causes the clouds to rise_ from the ends_ / of the earth.

`He makes lightnings / with the rain. • • He `brings the wind out of his / treasuries.

`He_ struck the firstborn of_ / E~ gypt,

`both of people and_ / animals.

`He sent signs and wonders in_ to the middle of you, / E~ gypt,

on `Pharaoh, and on / all his servants.

`He struck / many nations,

and `killed_ / mighty kings—

`Sihon king_ of the / Amorites, • `Og_ king of / Ba~ shan,

and `all the kingdoms of_ / Ca~ naan— +

and `gave their land_ for a / heritage,

a `heritage to Israel, his / peo~ ple.

(Ref)

`Your name, LORD, en / dures forever;

`your renown_, LORD, throughout all / generations.

`For the LORD will vindi / cate his people

and `have compassion / on his servants.

The `idols of the nations are_ silver / and~ gold,

the `work of / human hands.

`They have mouths_, but they / cannot speak.

`They have eyes_, but they / cannot see.

`They have ears_, but they / cannot hear,

`neither is there any breath_ / in their mouths.

`Those who make them will be / like~ them,

and `so will ev’ryone who / trusts in them.

(Ref)

`House of Israel_, / praise the LORD!

`House of Aaron, / praise the LORD!

`House of Levi, / praise the LORD!

`You_ who revere the LORD_, / praise the LORD! +

`Bles-sed be the LORD_ / from~ Zion,

who `dwells_ in Jerusalem_. Halle / lu~ jah!
