1 | Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, |
2 | Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God. |
3 | Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. |
4 | For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession. |
5 | For *I* know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods. |
6 | Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps; |
7 | Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries: |
8 | Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; |
9 | Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants; |
10 | Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings, |
11 | Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; |
12 | And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people. |
13 | Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation. |
14 | For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants. |
15 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: |
16 | They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; |
17 | They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth. |
18 | They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them. |
19 | House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah; |
20 | House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah. |
21 | Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah! |
