“Bless God in the great congregation, the Lord, O you who are of Israel’s fountain!”
Let them extol him in the congregation of the people and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
My foot stands on level ground; in the great congregation I will bless the Lord.
Singers and dancers alike say, “All my springs are in you.”

Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel and who came forth from the loins of Judah, who swear by the name of the Lord and invoke the God of Israel but not in truth or right.
So Israel lives in safety, untroubled is Jacob’s abode in a land of grain and wine, where the heavens drop down dew.
