1Praise Yahweh. Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2you who stand in Yahweh's house, in the courtyards of the house of our God.
3Praise Yahweh, for he is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant to do so.
4For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his possession.
5I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatever Yahweh desires, he does in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.
7He brings the clouds from far away, making lightning bolts accompany the rain and bringing the wind out of his storehouse.
8He killed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animals.
9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10He attacked many nations and killed mighty kings,
11Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12He gave us their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout all generations.
14For Yahweh defends his people and has compassion on his servants.
15The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
