1 Praise the LORD, who is so good; God's love endures forever;1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
2 Praise the God of gods; God's love endures forever;2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the Lord of lords; God's love endures forever;3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
4 Who alone has done great wonders, God's love endures forever;4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
5 Who skillfully made the heavens, God's love endures forever;5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
6 Who spread the earth upon the waters, God's love endures forever;6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
7 Who made the great lights, God's love endures forever;7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
8 The sun to rule the day, God's love endures forever;8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
9 The moon and stars to rule the night, God's love endures forever;9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
10 Who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, God's love endures forever;10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
11 And led Israel from their midst, God's love endures forever;11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
12 With mighty hand and outstretched arm, God's love endures forever;12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Who split in two the Red Sea, God's love endures forever;13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
14 And led Israel through, God's love endures forever;14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
15 But swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea, God's love endures forever;15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
16 Who led the people through the desert, God's love endures forever;16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
17 Who struck down great kings, God's love endures forever;17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Slew powerful kings, God's love endures forever;18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, God's love endures forever;19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 Og, king of Bashan, God's love endures forever;20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 And made their lands a heritage, God's love endures forever;21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
22 A heritage for Israel, God's servant, God's love endures forever.
23 The LORD remembered us in our misery, God's love endures forever;
24 Freed us from our foes, God's love endures forever;
25 And gives food to all flesh, God's love endures forever.
26 Praise the God of heaven, God's love endures forever.
