Praise ye the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.

all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.

12 akĩheana bũrũri wao ũtuĩke igai, ũtuĩke igai kũrĩ andũ ake a Isiraeli.
and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 Rĩĩtwa rĩaku, Wee Jehova, rĩtũũraga nginya tene, ngumo yaku, Wee Jehova, ĩgakinyĩra njiarwa na njiarwa.
O Lord, thy name [endures] for ever, and thy memorial to all generations.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩagaciirĩrĩra andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
15 Mĩhianano ya ndũrĩrĩ ĩthondeketwo na betha na thahabu, o wĩra wa moko ma andũ.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
