- Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
- 2
- you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our God's house.
- 3
- Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
- 4
- For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
- 5
- For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
- 6
- Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
- 7
- who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
- 8
- Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
- 9
- Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
- 10
- who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
- 11
- Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
- 12
- and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
- 13
- Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
- 14
- For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
- 15
- The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
- 16
- They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
- 17
- They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
- 18
- Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
- 19
- House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
- 20
- House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
- 21
- Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
