Praise the name of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah};
Offer praise, you servants of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah},
2 You who are standing in the house of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah},
In the courtyards of the house of our Yahavah {Yah'-ha-vah'}.
3 Praise Yah, for Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is good.
Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.
4 For yah has chosen Yacob for himself,
Isra'Al for his special property.
5 For I well know that Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} is great;
Our Lord is greater than all other gods.
6 Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} does everything he pleases to do
In heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.
7 He causes clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of his storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
Both man and beast.
9 He sent signs and miracles among you, O Egypt,
Against Pharʹaoh and all his servants.
10 He struck down many nations
And killed mighty kings
11 —Siʹhon the king of the Amʹor·ites,
Og the king of Baʹshan,
And all the kingdoms of Caʹnaan.
12 He gave their land as an inheritance,
An inheritance to Isra'Al his people.
13 O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, your name endures forever.
O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, your fame endures for all generations.
14 For Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} will defend his people,
And he will feel compassion for his servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of human hands.
16 A mouth they have, but they cannot speak;
Eyes, but they cannot see;
17 Ears they have, but they cannot hear.
There is no breath in their mouth.
18 The people who make them will become just like them,
As will all those who trust in them.
19 O house of Isra'Al, praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
O house of Aaron, praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
20 O house of Leʹvi, praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
You who fear Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, praise Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}.
21 May Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} be praised from Zion,
The One residing in Yerushalom.
Praise Yah!
