Your name, O Lord, endures forever

(Psalm 115:1-18)
1
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD’s name! Praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2
you who stand in the LORD’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
3
Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4
For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
5
For I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6
Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
7
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.
8
He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.
9
He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
10
He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—
11
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13
Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.
14
For the LORD will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.
15
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16
They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17
They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18
Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19
House of Israel, praise the LORD! House of Aaron, praise the LORD!
20
House of Levi, praise the LORD! You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD!
21
Blessed be the LORD from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

Your name, O Lord, endures forever

(Psalm 115:1-18)
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 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.
6
Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.(a)
9
Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13
Thy name, O Lord , endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord , throughout all generations.(b)
14
For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18
They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19
Bless the Lord , O house of Israel: bless the Lord , O house of Aaron:
20
Bless the Lord , O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord , bless the Lord .
21
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord .
