The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1Praise Yah! Praise the Name of יהוה; Praise, you servants of יהוה, 2Who are standing in the House of יהוה, In the courts of the House of our Elohim, 3Praise Yah, for יהוה is good; Sing praises to His Name, for it is pleasant. 4For Yah has chosen Ya‛aqoḇ for Himself, Yisra’ĕl for His treasured possession. 5For I know that יהוה is great, And our Master is above all mighty ones. 6יהוה has done whatever pleased Him, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and in all the depths, 7Causing vapours to go up From the ends of the earth; He made lightning for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasuries; 8Who smote the first-born of Mitsrayim, From man to beast. 9He sent signs and wonders Into your midst, O Mitsrayim, On Pharaoh and on all his servants; 10Who smote many nations, And slew mighty sovereigns, 11Even Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, And Og̅ sovereign of Bashan, And all the reigns of Kena‛an. 12And He gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to Yisra’ĕl His people. 13O יהוה, Your Name is forever, O יהוה, Your remembrance to all generations, 14For יהוה rightly rules His people, And has compassion on His servants. 15The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. 16They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see; 17They have ears, but they do not hear; Also there is no breath in their mouth. 18Those making them become like them, Everyone who is trusting in them. 19Bless יהוה, O house of Yisra’ĕl! Bless יהוה, O house of Aharon! 20Bless יהוה, O house of Lĕwi! You who fear יהוה, bless יהוה! 21Blessed from Tsiyon, יהוה be, Who dwells in Yerushalayim! Praise Yah. |
