Praise Yahweh!
Praise Yah!
Praise Yahweh from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
2 Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
3 Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!
4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens,
And the waters that are above the heavens!
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For He commanded and they were created.
6 He caused them to stand forever and ever;
He gave a statute and it will never pass away.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth,
Sea monsters and all deeps;
8 Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, doing His word;
9 Mountains and all hills;
Fruit trees and all cedars;
10 Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and winged bird;
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 Both choice men as well as virgins;
The old with the young.
13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh,
For His name alone is set on high;
His splendor is above earth and heaven.
14 And He has raised up a horn for His people,
Praise for all His holy ones;
For the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.
Praise Yah!
Yahweh Takes Pleasure in His People
Praise Yah!
Sing to Yahweh a new song,
His praise in the assembly of the holy ones.
2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Let them praise His name with dancing;
With tambourine and lyre let them sing praises to Him.
4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation.
5 Let the holy ones exult in glory;
Let them sing for joy on their beds.
6 Let the exaltations of God be in their throats,
And a two‑edged sword in their hand,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations
And punishments on the peoples,
8 To bind their kings with chains
And their honored men with fetters of iron,
9 To execute on them the judgment written;
This is the majesty of all His holy ones.
Praise Yah!
Praise Him, Praise Yah!
Praise Yah!
Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty expanse.
2 Praise Him for His mighty deeds;
Praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness.
3 Praise Him with trumpet blast;
Praise Him with harp and lyre.
4 Praise Him with tambourine and dancing;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe.
5 Praise Him with resounding cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals.
6 Let everything that has breath praise Yah.
Praise Yah!
