1 ¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye slaves of the LORD.

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

3 p raise JAH; for the LORD is good; sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 F or JAH has chosen Jacob unto himself and Israel for his own possession.

5 ¶ For I know that the LORD is great and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 W hatever the LORD desired, he did in the heavens and in the earth, in the seas and in all the deep places.

7 H e who causes the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth, made the lightnings in the rain; he who brings the winds out of his treasuries.

8 H e who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

9 s ent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his slaves.

10 H e who smote many Gentiles and slew mighty kings,

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

12 g ave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel his people.

13 T hy name, O LORD, is eternal, and thy memorial, O LORD, from generation to generation.

14 F or the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his slaves.

15 ¶ The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

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

17 t hey have ears, but they do not hear; neither is there any spirit in their mouths.

18 L et those that make them become like unto them and every one that trusts in them.

19 B less the LORD, O house of Israel; bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

20 B less the LORD, O house of Levi; ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21 B lessed be the LORD out of Zion who dwells at Jerusalem. Halelu-JAH.
