Read the chapter

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

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
