3 Praise ye Jah, for Jehovah is good :

make melody unto his name, for it is sweet.

4 For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, (and) Israel for his peculiar treasure 1.

5 For I know that Jehovah is great,

6

and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done, in heaven, and in earth,

in the seas, and all deeps 2:

7 Who causeth vapours to ascend from the bounds

of the earth;

he maketh lightnings for the rain ;

he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries 3.

8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt,

both of man and beast.

9 He sent signs and portents into the midst of thee, O Egypt,

upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote many nations,

and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

and Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan : 12 And gave their land as an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. 13 Jehovah! thy name (endureth) for ever; Jehovah! thy memorial is unto all generations 5. 14 For Jehovah will judge his people,

and repent himself concerning his servants 6.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They have mouths, and speak not: eyes have they, but they see not.

17 They have ears, and yet they hear not : neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like unto them : and so are all they that put their trust in them.

19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

21 Praised be the Lord out of Sion : who dwelleth at Jerusalem..

1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious :

and his mercy endureth for ever.

2 O give thanks unto the God of all gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

3 O thank the Lord of all lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Who only doeth great wonders : for his mercy endureth for ever.

5 Who by his excellent wisdom made the heavens : for his mercy endureth for ever.

6 Who laid out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

7 Who hath made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever;

8 The sun to rule the day : for his mercy endureth for ever;

Heb. Hallelujah.

16 They have mouths, and speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not:
17 They have ears, but they give no ear;

neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them shall become like unto
them:

(yea,) every one that trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah ;

O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah : 20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah;

ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

Praise ye Jah1!
