1Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord; ye servants of the Lord, praise ye (him).
2Ye that stand in the house of the Lord; in the halls/in the foreyards of the house of our God. (Ye who stand in the House of the Lord; in the courtyards of the House of our God.)
3Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing ye to his name, for it is sweet (or for it is pleasant to do so).
4For the Lord chose Jacob to himself; and Israel into possession to himself. (For the Lord chose Jacob for himself; yea, he chose Israel as his special possession.)
