Praise YAH! [ALEPH-BET] I thank YHWH with the whole heart, || In the secret meeting of the upright, || And of the congregation.

Great [are] the works of YHWH, || Sought out by all desiring them.
3
Splendid and majestic is His work, || And His righteousness is standing forever.
4
He has made a memorial of His wonders, || YHWH [is] gracious and merciful.
5
He has given prey to those fearing Him, || He remembers His covenant for all time.
6
He has declared the power of His works to His people, || To give to them the inheritance of nations.
7
The works of His hands [are] true and just, || All His appointments [are] steadfast.
8
They are sustained forever and for all time. They are made in truth and uprightness.
9
He has sent redemption to His people, || He has appointed His covenant for all time, || His Name [is] holy and fearful.
10
The fear of YHWH [is] the beginning of wisdom, || Good understanding have all doing them, || His praise [is] standing forever!
