Praise the name of Yahweh.
    Praise him, you servants of Yahweh
² who are standing in the house of Yahweh,
    in the courtyards of the house of our Elohim.
³ Praise Yah because Yahweh is good.
    Make music to praise his name because his name is beautiful.
⁴ Yah chose Jacob to be his own
    and chose Israel to be his own special treasure.

⁵ I know that Yahweh is great,
    that our Adonay is greater than all the false gods.
⁶ Yahweh does whatever he wants in heaven or on earth,
    on the seas or in all the depths of the oceans.
⁷ He is the one who makes the clouds rise from the ends of the earth,
    who makes lightning for the thunderstorms,
        and who brings wind out of his storerooms.

⁸ He is the one who killed every firstborn male in Egypt.
    He killed humans and animals alike.
⁹ He sent miraculous signs and amazing things into the heart of Egypt
    against Pharaoh and all his officials.
¹⁰ He is the one who defeated many nations and killed mighty kings:
¹¹ King Sihon of the Amorites,
    King Og of Bashan,
        and all the kingdoms in Canaan.
¹² He gave their land as an inheritance,
    an inheritance to his people Israel.
¹³ O Yahweh, your name endures forever.
    O Yahweh, you will be remembered throughout every generation.
¹⁴ Yahweh will provide justice for his people
    and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are made of silver and gold.
    They were made by human hands.^[a]
16 They have mouths, but they cannot speak.
    They have eyes, but they cannot see.
¹⁷ They have ears, but they cannot hear.
    They cannot breathe.
¹⁸ Those who make idols end up like them.
    So does everyone who trusts them.

¹⁹ Descendants of Israel, praise Yahweh.
    Descendants of Aaron, praise Yahweh.
²⁰ Descendants of Levi, praise Yahweh.
    You people who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh.
²¹ Thank Yahweh in Zion.
    Thank the one who lives in Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!
