✧Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah, ✧2Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God. ✧3Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. ✧4For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession. ✧5For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods. ✧6Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps; ✧7Who 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; ✧8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast; ✧9Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants; ✧10Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings, ✧11Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan, ✧12And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people. ✧13Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations. ✧14For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants. ✧15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. ✧16They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not; ✧17They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths. ✧18They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them. ✧19O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah: ✧20O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah. ✧21Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
