1 P raise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

2 W ho are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

3 P raise ye Jah! for Jehovah good, Sing praise to His name, for pleasant.

4 F or Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

5 F or I have known that great Jehovah, Yea, our Lord above all gods.

6 A ll that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,

7 C ausing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

8 W ho smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.

9 H e sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

10 W ho smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

11 E ven Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

12 A nd He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,

13 O Jehovah, Thy name to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.

14 F or Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

15 T he idols of the nations 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 E ars they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!

18 L ike 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 B lessed Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!
