1 P raise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise him, O 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 Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

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

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

6 W hatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

7 W ho causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

8 W ho smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;

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

10 W ho smote many 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 a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.

13 T hy name, O Jehovah, endureth for ever; Thy memorial name, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

14 F or Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants.

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

16 T hey have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

17 T hey have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 T hey that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth 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: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

21 B lessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
