Understanding God's Heart For Us in Song
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh’s name! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2 you who stand in Yahweh’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.
8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.
9 He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
10 He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
14 For Yahweh will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.
