Your name, O Lord, endures forever
(Psalm 115:1-18)
1
Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, || Praise, you servants of YHWH,
2
Who are standing in the house of YHWH, || In the courts of the house of our God.
3
Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, || Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.
4
For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, || Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5
For I have known that YHWH [is] great, || Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6
All that YHWH pleased He has done, || In the heavens and in earth, || In the seas and all deep places,
7
Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, || He has made lightnings for the rain, || Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, || From man to beast.
9
He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, || On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10
Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
11
Even Sihon king of the Amorite, || And Og king of Bashan, || And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12
And He gave their land an inheritance, || An inheritance to His people Israel,
13
O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, || O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
14
For YHWH judges His people, || And comforts Himself for His servants.
15
The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, || Work of the hands of man.
16
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, || They have eyes, and they do not see,
17
They have ears, and they do not give ear, || Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
18
Their makers are like them, || Everyone who is trusting in them.
19
O house of Israel, bless YHWH, || O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
20
O house of Levi, bless YHWH, || Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
21
Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, || Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
