1 | 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! Psalm 136 |
