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! |
