1 H allelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

2 Y e that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 P raise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 F or Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

5 F or I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

6 W hatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

7 W ho 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 W ho smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

9 W ho sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;

10 W ho smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,

11 S ihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 A nd gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

13 T hy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

14 F or Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

15 T he idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

16 T hey have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

17 T hey have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

18 T hey that make them are like unto them,—every one that confideth in them.

19 H ouse of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

20 H ouse of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

21 B lessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
