1Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. ✦ 2Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, ✦ 3Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. ✦ 4For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. ✦ 5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. ✦ 6Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. ✦ 7He 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. ✦ 8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. ✦ 9Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. ✦ 10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; ✦ 11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: ✦ 12And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. ✦ 13Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. ✦ 14For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. ✦ 15The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. ✦ 16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; ✦ 17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. ✦ 19Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: ✦ 20Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. 21Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. ✦

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.
