The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Thou hidest Thy face — they are troubled, Thou gatherest their spirit — they expire, And unto their dust they turn back.

Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou renewest the face of the ground.

The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in His works,

Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh against hills, and they smoke.

I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
