1Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of YHWH; Give praise, O ye servants of YHWH,

2Ye that stand in the house of YHWH, In the courts of the house of our God.

3Praise ye YHWH, for YHWH is good; Sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.

4For Yah hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, And Israel for His own treasure.

5For I know that YHWH is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.

6Whatsoever YHWH pleased, that hath He done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

7Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries.

8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

9He 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.

13O YHWH, Thy name endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O YHWH, throughout all generations.

14For YHWH will judge His people, And repent Himself for 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 YHWH; O house of Aaron, bless ye YHWH;

20O house of Levi, bless ye YHWH; Ye that fear YHWH, bless ye YHWH.

21Blessed be YHWH out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
