O Yahweh, Your Name Is Everlasting

¹Praise Yah![#135:1 Or Hallelujah!]

Praise the name of Yahweh;

Praise Him , O slaves of Yahweh,

²You who stand in the house of Yahweh,

In the courts of the house of our God!

³Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good;[#135:3 Or Hallelujah!]

Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

⁴For Yah has chosen Jacob for Himself,

Israel for His treasured possession.

⁵¶For I know that Yahweh is great

And that our Lord is greater than all gods.

⁶Whatever Yahweh pleases, He does,

In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

⁷The One who causes the clouds to ascend from the end of the earth;

Who makes lightnings for the rain,

Who brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

⁸¶He struck the firstborn of Egypt,[#135:8 Lit The One who]

From man to beast.

⁹He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,[#135:9 Lit The One who]

Amongst Pharaoh and all his slaves.

¹⁰He struck many nations[#135:10 Lit The One who]

And slew mighty kings,

¹¹Sihon, king of the Amorites,

And Og, king of Bashan,

And all the kingdoms of Canaan;

¹²And He gave their land as an inheritance,

An inheritance to Israel His people.

¹³O Yahweh, Your name is everlasting,

O Yahweh, Your remembrance is from generation to generation.

¹⁴For Yahweh will render justice for His people

And will give comfort to His slaves.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The work of man’s hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but they do not speak;

They have eyes, but they do not see;

¹⁷They have ears, but they do not hear,

Surely, there is not any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Those who make them will be like them,

All who trust in them.

¹⁹¶O house of Israel, bless Yahweh;

O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh;

²⁰O house of Levi, bless Yahweh;

You who fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh.

²¹Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,

Who dwells in Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!
