1Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD, ✦ 2who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. ✦ 3Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. ✦ 4For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession. ✦ 5For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods. ✦ 6The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths. ✦ 7He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses. ✦ 8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast. ✦ 9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. ✦ 10He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings: ✦ 11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. ✦ 12He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage 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 will 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; they have eyes, but cannot see; ✦ 17they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths. 18Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. ✦ 19O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD; ✦ 20O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD! 21Blessed be the LORD from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! ✦

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.
