1Hallelujah! Praise the name of Yahweh. Give praise, you servants of Yahweh 1Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD! Offer praise, you servants of the LORD,
2who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of the house of our God. 2who serve in the LORD's temple, in the courts of the temple of our God.
3Praise Yahweh, for Yahweh is good; sing praise to His name, for it is delightful. 3Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good! Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant!
4For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasured possession. 4Indeed, the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his special possession.
5For I know that Yahweh is great; our Lord is greater than all gods. 5Yes, I know the LORD is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods.
6Yahweh does whatever He pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths. 6He does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.
7He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings the wind from His storehouses. 7He causes the clouds to arise from the end of the earth, makes lightning bolts accompany the rain, and brings the wind out of his storehouses.
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both man and beast. 8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, including both men and animals.
9He sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his officials. 9He performed awesome deeds and acts of judgment in your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings: 10He defeated many nations, and killed mighty kings--
11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. 11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12He gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to His people Israel. 12He gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance to Israel his people.
13Yahweh, Your name endures forever, Your reputation, Yahweh, through all generations. 13O LORD, your name endures, your reputation, O LORD, lasts.
14For Yahweh will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants. 14For the LORD vindicates his people, and has compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are of silver and gold, made by human hands. 15The nations' idols are made of silver and gold, they are man-made.
16They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see. 16They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,
17They have ears but cannot hear; indeed, there is no breath in their mouths. 17and ears, but cannot hear. Indeed, they cannot breathe.
18Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them. 18Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.
19House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh! 19O family of Israel, praise the LORD! O family of Aaron, praise the LORD!
20House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who revere the LORD, praise the LORD! 20O family of Levi, praise the LORD! You loyal followers of the LORD, praise the LORD!
21May the LORD be praised from Zion; He dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah! 21The LORD deserves praise in Zion--he who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
