Listen to this chapter • 2:44

[1] Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

[2] you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.

[3] Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

[4] For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

[5] For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

[6] Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

[7] who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;

[8] Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

[9] Who sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

[10] who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

[11] Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

[12] and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

[13] Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

[14] For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

[15] The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

[16] They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

[17] They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

[18] Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

[19] House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

[20] House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

[21] Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
