[1]Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
[2]Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
[3]Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
[4]For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
[5]For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
[6]All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
[7]Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
[8]Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
[9]He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
[10]Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
[11]Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
[12]And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
[13]O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
[14]For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
[15]The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
[16]A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
[17]Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!
[18]Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
[19]O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
[20]O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
[21]Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!
