- 1Praise Yah! Praise the Lord’s name! Praise him, you servants of the Lord,
- 2you who stand in the Lord’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
- 3Praise Yah, for the Lord is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
- 4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
- 5For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
- 6Whatever the Lord pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
- 7who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;
- 8Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
- 9Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
- 10who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
- 11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
- 12and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
- 13Your name, the Lord, endures forever; your renown, the Lord, throughout all generations.
- 14For the Lord will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
- 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
- 16They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
- 17They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
- 18Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
- 19House of Israel, praise the Lord! House of Aaron, praise the Lord!
- 20House of Levi, praise the Lord! You who fear the Lord, praise the Lord!
- 21Blessed be the Lord from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
