Read the chapter

1Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord! ✦ 2You who 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 to His name, for it is pleasant. ✦ 4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure. ✦ 5For I know that the Lord is great, And our Lord is above all gods. ✦ 6Whatever the Lord pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. ✦ 7He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries. ✦ 8He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast. ✦ 9He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. ✦ 10He defeated many nations And slew mighty kings— ✦ 11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan— ✦ 12And gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. ✦ 13Your name, O Lord, endures forever, Your fame, O Lord, throughout all generations. ✦ 14For the Lord will judge His people, And He will 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 do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; ✦ 17They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath in their mouths. 18Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them. ✦ 19Bless the Lord, O house of Israel! Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron! ✦ 20Bless the Lord, O house of Levi! You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord! 21Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise 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.
