1Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courtyards of our God’s house.
3Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.
4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his own special possession.
5For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6Yahweh does whatever he pleases, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the depths.
7He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning with the rain; he brings the wind out of his storehouses;
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both people and animals;
9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10who struck down many nations and killed powerful kings,
11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12and gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people, Israel.
13Your name, Yahweh, lasts forever; your fame, Yahweh, through all generations.
14For Yahweh will bring justice to his people and show compassion to his servants.
15The idols of the nations are made of silver and gold, crafted by 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 in their mouths.
18Those who make them will become like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who respect Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
21May Yahweh be praised from Zion, he who lives in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
