1Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, O servants of Yahweh,
2you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is delightful.
4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
5For I myself know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6Everything that pleases Yahweh, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the deeps;
7he causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings forth the wind out of his storehouses.
8He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal,
9he sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, on Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10He struck many nations and killed mighty kings,
11Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12and gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance for Israel his people.
13O Yahweh, your name is everlasting, O Yahweh, your remembrance is from generation to generation.
14For Yahweh will judge his people, and he will have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but they cannot speak. They have eyes, but they cannot see.
17They have ears, but they cannot hear; nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.
18Those who make them will become like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19O house of Israel, bless Yahweh! O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh!
20O house of Levi, bless Yahweh! Fearers of Yahweh, bless Yahweh!
21Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
