Your Name Endures Forever
(2 Chronicles 7:1-3; Psalm 136:1-26)
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.
2Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
3Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
20Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
21Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD
(Psalm 115:1–18)
1 Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2 you who stand in the house of Yahweh, 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 who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 who 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.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17 They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD
(Psalm 115:1–18)
1 Hallelujah! a
Praise the name of the LORD.
Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
2 who stand in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good;
sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own,
Israel as His treasured possession.
5 For I know that the LORD is great;
our Lord is above all gods.
6 The LORD does all that pleases Him
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and in all their depths.
7 He causes the clouds to rise
from the ends of the earth.
He generates the lightning with the rain
and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
of both man and beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He struck down many nations
and slaughtered mighty kings:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.
12 He gave their land as an inheritance,
as a heritage to His people Israel.
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever,
Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
14 For the LORD will vindicate His people b
and will have compassion on His servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak;
they have eyes, but cannot see;
17 they have ears, but cannot hear;
nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them become like them,
as do all who trust in them.
19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD;
O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD;
you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion—
He who dwells in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

Your Name Endures Forever
(2 Chronicles 7:1-3; Psalm 136:1-26)
1Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah is good, Sing praise to His name, for it is pleasant.
4For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5For I have known that great is Jehovah, Yea, our Lord is above all gods.
6All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
11Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13O Jehovah, Thy name is to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!
18Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21Blessed is Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!
