Praise God, for Adonai is good; sing to God’s name, for such singing is delightful. For God has chosen Jacob, treasured the people Israel, and I know that Adonai is great, our lord greater than any divine power. Whatever God desires God does: in heaven and on earth, in the sea and the very deep. God raises up clouds from the ends of the earth—lightning flashes to bring rain—releasing stormy winds from the divine vaults. God smote Egypt’s firstborn, human and beast alike, and sent signs and wonders into Egypt against Pharaoh and all his servants; indeed, God defeated many nations, slaying mighty princes: Siḥon, the king of the Amorites, Og, the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan. God gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel, God’s people. Adonai, Your name is everlasting, Adonai—renowned in each generation. Adonai, when You judge Your people, You shall show compassion for those who serve You. The idols of the nations are gold and silver, the work of human hands. They have mouths that do not speak, eyes that do not see; they have ears that do not hear; surely their mouths do not breathe. Those that made them, all who put their faith in them, shall be like them. House of Israel, bless Adonai. House of Aaron, bless Adonai. House of Levi, bless Adonai. You who revere Adonai, bless Adonai. From Zion, bless Adonai, who dwells in Jerusalem: Halleluyah! Praise God.",
