1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.
And the Levites say, `even' Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, `Rise, bless Jehovah your God, from the age unto the age, and they bless the name of Thine honour that `is' exalted above all blessing and praise.
Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.
They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in Jerusalem,
Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth. Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation. Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders. For great `is' Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He `is' over all gods.
And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth Himself with him there, and calleth in the Name of Jehovah, and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth, keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third `generation', and on a fourth.'
Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise `is' comely. Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten strings sing praise to Him,
Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints. Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king. They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.
They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour `is' above earth and heavens.

Psa 135:5-14
