Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
2 Mi ame siwo subɔna le Yehowa ƒe aƒe me, le míaƒe Mawu la ƒe xɔxɔnuwo.
who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
3 Mikafu Yehowa, elabena Yehowa nyo; midzi ha na eƒe ŋkɔ, elabena esia vivina.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
4 Elabena Yehowa tia Yakob be wòanye ye tɔ, eye wòtia Israel be wòanye yeƒe domenyinu xɔasi la.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
5 Menya be Yehowa lolo, eye míaƒe Aƒetɔ la lolo wu mawuwo katã.
I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 Yehowa wɔa nu sia nu si dze eŋu le dziƒo kple anyigba, le atsiaƒuwo me kple woƒe gogloƒewo katã.
The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
7 Enaa lilikpo hona tso anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke, edɔa dzikedzo be wòava kple tsidzadza, eye wòɖea yaƒoƒo ɖe go tso eƒe nudzraɖoƒewo.
He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
8 Eƒo Egipte ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo ƒu anyi; amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo.
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
9 O! Egipte, edɔ eƒe dzesiwo kple nukunuwo ɖo ɖe mía dome, ɖe Farao kple eƒe dɔlawo katã ŋu.
He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 Eƒo dukɔ geɖewo ƒu anyi, eye wòwu fia sesẽwo.
He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
11 Ewu Sixɔn, Amoritɔwo ƒe fia, Ɔg, Basantɔwo ƒe fia kple Kanaan fiawo katã,
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
12 eye wòtsɔ woƒe anyigba wɔ domenyinu, na eƒe dukɔ Israel.
He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
13 O! Yehowa, wò ŋkɔ li tegbetegbe, o Yehowa, èxɔ ŋkɔ le dzidzimewo katã me.
Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
14 Elabena Yehowa atso afia na eƒe dukɔ, eye wòakpɔ nublanui na eƒe dɔlawo.
The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
15 Dukɔwo ƒe legbawo nye klosalo kple sika, amegbetɔ ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwo wonye.
The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
16 Nu li na wo, gake womeƒoa nu o, ŋku li na wo gake womekpɔa nu o,
They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
17 to li na wo, gake womesea nu loo, alo gbɔna to woƒe nu me o.
They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
18 Ame siwo wɔ wo la anɔ abe woawo ke ene, eye nenema kee nye ame siwo katã ɖoa dzi ɖe wo ŋu.
Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
19 O! Israel ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa, O! Aron ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa,
People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
20 O! Levi ƒe aƒe, mikafu Yehowa, eye mi ame siwo vɔ̃nɛ la, mikafu Yehowa.
Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
