Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, |
2
|
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God. |
3
|
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. |
4
|
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession. |
5
|
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods. |
6
|
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps; |
7
|
Who 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
|
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; |
9
|
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants; |
10
|
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings, |
11
|
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; |
12
|
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people. |
13
|
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation. |
14
|
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants. |
15
|
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: |
16
|
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; |
17
|
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth. |
18
|
They that make them are like unto them,—every one that confideth in them. |
19
|
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah; |
20
|
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah. |
21
|
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah! |
