³² and after them goeth Hoshaiah, and half of the heads of Judah,

⁴ These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude keeping feast!

⁶ Praise God -- praise -- give praise to our king, praise.

⁷ For king of all the earth `is' God, Give praise, O understanding one.

⁸ God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,

⁹ Nobles of peoples have been gathered, `With' the people of the God of Abraham, For to God `are' the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!

¹ A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.

² Lift up your hands `in' the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.

³ Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!
