2 Ye that stand in the house of Yhwh, in the courts of the house of our God,

6 Whatsoever Yhwh pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations.
Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19 Bless Yhwh, O house of Israel: bless Yhwh, O house of Aaron:
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:
20 Bless Yhwh, O house of Levi: ye that fear Yhwh, bless Yhwh.
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
