Read the chapter

1Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise him, you who serve the Lord, ✦ 2you who serve in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. ✦ 3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music. ✦ 4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own special treasure. ✦ 5I know the greatness of the Lord— that our Lord is greater than any other god. ✦ 6The Lord does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths. ✦ 7He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses. ✦ 8He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals. ✦ 9He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people. ✦ 10He struck down great 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, a special possession to his people Israel. ✦ 13Your name, O Lord, endures forever; your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation. ✦ 14For the Lord will give justice to his people and have compassion on his servants. ✦ 15The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. ✦ 16They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. ✦ 17They have ears but cannot hear, and mouths but cannot breathe. 18And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them. ✦ 19O Israel, praise the Lord! O priests—descendants of Aaron—praise the Lord! ✦ 20O Levites, praise the Lord! All you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord! 21The Lord be praised from Zion, for he lives here 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.
