Give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;

To Him who made the heavens with skill,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who spread out the earth above the waters,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
To Him who made the great lights,
For His lovingkindness endures forever:
The sun to rule by day,
For His lovingkindness endures forever,
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Who remembered us in our low estate,
For His lovingkindness endures forever,
And has snatched us from our adversaries,
For His lovingkindness endures forever;
Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of heaven,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Praise Yah!
Praise the name of Yahweh;
Praise Him, O slaves of Yahweh,
You who stand in the house of Yahweh,
In the courts of the house of our God!
Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good;
Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
For Yah has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His treasured possession.
For I know that Yahweh is great
And that our Lord is greater than all gods.
Whatever Yahweh pleases, He does,
In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
The 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.

Behold, bless Yahweh, all you slaves of Yahweh,
Who stand in the house of Yahweh by night!
Lift up your hands to the sanctuary
And bless Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
Who made heaven and earth.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell together in unity!

I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon him, his crown shall blossom.”

O Yahweh, my heart is not exalted, and my eyes are not raised high;
And I do not involve myself in great matters,
Or in matters too marvelous for me.
Surely I have soothed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother,
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, wait for Yahweh
From now until forever.

Out of the depths I called to You, O Yahweh.
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
If You should keep iniquities, O Yah,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with You there is forgiveness,
That You may be feared.

“The blessing of Yahweh be upon you;
We bless you in the name of Yahweh.”

How blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh,
Who walks in His ways.
When you shall eat of the fruit of the labor of your hands,
How blessed will you be and how well will it be for you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the innermost parts of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.

Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears Yahweh.
May Yahweh bless you from Zion,
That you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
Indeed, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!

Unless Yahweh builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless Yahweh watches the city,
The watchman keeps awake in vain.
It is in vain that you rise up early,
That you sit out late,
O you who eat the bread of painful labors;
For in this manner, He gives sleep to His beloved.

Behold, children are an inheritance of Yahweh,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with enemies in the gate.
