5ForH3588 IH589 knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 is greatH1419;our LordH113 is above allH3605 godsH430.6The LORDH3068 doesH6213 allH3605 thatH834 pleases HimH2654in the heavensH8064 and on the earthH776,in the seasH3220 and in allH3605 their depthsH8415.7He causes the cloudsH5387 to riseH5927from the endsH7097 of the earthH776.He generatesH6213 the lightningH1300 with the rainH4306and brings forthH3318 the windH7307 from His storehousesH214.

13Your nameH8034, O LORDH3068, endures foreverH5769,Your renownH2143, O LORDH3068, through all generationsH1755.14ForH3588 the LORDH3068 will vindicateH1777 His peopleH59712and will have compassionH5162 onH5921 His servantsH5650.
15The idolsH6091 of the nationsH1471 are silverH3701 and goldH2091,madeH4639 by the handsH3027 of menH120.16They have mouthsH6310, but cannotH3808 speakH1696;they have eyesH5869, but cannotH3808 seeH7200;17they have earsH241, but cannotH3808 hearH238;norH369 is thereH3426 breathH7307 in their mouthsH6310.18Those who make themH6213 becomeH1961 like themH3644,as do allH3605 whoH834 trustH982 in them.
19O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, blessH1288 the LORDH3068;O houseH1004 of AaronH175, blessH1288 the LORDH3068;20O houseH1004 of LeviH3878, blessH1288 the LORDH3068;you who fearH3373 the LORDH3068, blessH1288 the LORDH3068!21Blessed beH1288 the LORDH3068 from ZionH6726—He who dwellsH7931 in JerusalemH3389.
