3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
5I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
6The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
7He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
9He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
11Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
12He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
13Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
