Praise Yah. Praise ye the name of Yhwh; praise him, O ye servants of Yhwh.
2 Qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
Ye that stand in the house of Yhwh, in the courts of the house of our God,
3 Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus: psallite nomini eius, quoniam suave.
Praise Yah; for Yhwh is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Quoniam Iacob elegit sibi Dominus Israel in possessionem sibi.
For Yah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster prae omnibus diis.
For I know that Yhwh is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Omnia quaecumque voluit, Dominus fecit in caelo, in terra, in mari, et in omnibus abyssis.
Whatsoever Yhwh pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terrae: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:
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.
8 qui percussit primogenita Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Et misit signa, et prodigia in medio tui Aegypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos eius.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 Qui percussit gentes multas: et occidit reges fortes:
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, et Og regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, hereditatem Israel populo suo.
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Domine nomen tuum in aeternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generatione et generationem.
Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations.
14 Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum: et in servis suis deprecabitur.
For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes, qui confidunt in eis.
They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Domus Israel benedicite Domino: domus Aaron benedicite Domino.
Bless Yhwh, O house of Israel: bless Yhwh, O house of Aaron:
20 Domus Levi benedicite Domino: qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.
Bless Yhwh, O house of Levi: ye that fear Yhwh, bless Yhwh.
21 Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Ierusalem.
Blessed be Yhwh out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelu jah.
