¹ Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him in the expanse of His strength.

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

³ And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.

¹ Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

¹⁹ For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary. Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively,

⁹ The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.'

¹ And I look, and lo, on the expanse that `is' above the head of the cherubs, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, He hath been seen over them.

²² And a likeness `is' over the heads of the living creatures of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out over their heads from above.

²³ And under the expanse their wings `are' straight, one toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to each are two covering on that side -- their bodies.

²⁴ And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going -- the noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they let fall their wings.

²⁵ And there is a voice from above the expanse, that `is' above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings.

²⁶ And above the expanse that `is' over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, `is' the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above.

¹⁹ Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them -- I thank Jah.

²⁰ This `is' the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

¹⁸ My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

¹⁹ In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

¹³ I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee my vows,

¹⁴ For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my distress:

¹⁵ `Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah.

¹⁶ Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did for my soul.

¹ To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens `are' recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The expanse `is' declaring.

⁶ And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.'

⁷ And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the waters which `are' under the expanse, and the waters which `are' above the expanse: and it is so.

⁸ And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;' and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day second.
