Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 laudate Dominum quia bonus Dominus psallite nomini eius quoniam suave
Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.
4 quoniam Iacob elegit sibi Dominus Israhel in possessionem sibi

Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.
7 educens nubes ab extremo terrae fulgora in pluviam fecit qui producit ventos de thesauris suis
He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 qui percussit primogenita Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus
[He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
9 emisit signa et prodigia in medio tui Aegypte in Pharaonem et in omnes servos eius
Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
10 qui percussit gentes multas et occidit reges fortes
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Seon regem Amorreorum et Og regem Basan et omnia regna Chanaan
Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 et dedit terram eorum hereditatem hereditatem Israhel populo suo
And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Domine nomen tuum in aeternum Domine memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem
O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
14 quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum et in servis suis deprecabitur
For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
15 simulacra gentium argentum et aurum opera manuum hominum
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
16 os habent et non loquentur oculos habent et non videbunt
Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
17 aures habent et non audient neque enim est spiritus in ore eorum
Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea et omnes qui sperant in eis
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
