Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, Whose hope is in Yahweh, his God:

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

Yahweh takes pleasure in those who fear him, In those who hope in his lovingkindness.

He sends out his commandment on earth. His word runs very swiftly.

He hurls down his hail like pebbles. Who can stand before his cold?

He sends out his word, and melts them. He causes his wind to blow, and the waters flow.

He shows his word to Jacob; His statutes and his ordinances to Israel.

He has not done this for any nation; They don't know his ordinances. Praise Yah!

Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his host!

Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; Stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

Let them praise the name of Yahweh, For his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

He has lifted up the horn of his people, The praise of all his saints; Even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!

Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, His praise in the assembly of the saints.

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!

For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

To execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!

Praise Yah! Praise God in his sanctuary! Praise him in his heavens for his acts of power!

Praise him for his mighty acts! Praise him according to his excellent greatness!

For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

That he may guard the paths of justice, And preserve the way of his saints.
