The Psalms of Thanksgiving To YAHWEH

17
I Continually Bless THY NAME YAHWEH

I give thanks unto Thee, 0 YAHWEH,
for You hast wrought a wonder with dust
and hast shown forth Thy power
in that which is molded of clay.
For You hast made me to know Thy deep, deep truth, and to divine Thy wondrous works,
and hast put in my mouth the power to praise,
and psalmody on my tongue,
and hast given me lips unmarred 
and readiness of song,
that I may sing of Thy lovingkindness
and rehearse Thy might all the day
and continually bless THY NAME.

I will show forth THY POWER
in the midst of the sons of men,
and in Thine abundant goodness
my soul will exult.
For I know that Thy mouth is truth,
and in Thy hand is bounty,
and in Thy thought all knowledge,
and in Thy power all might,
and that all honour is with Thee.

In Thine anger come all judgment of affliction,
but in Thy goodness pardon abounding;
and Thy mercies are shed upon all
who do Thy will.
For You hast made them to know Thy deep, deep truth
and divine Thine inscrutable wonders;
and, for Thy mercy's sake,
You hast granted it unto man
to be purged of transgression,
that he may hallow himself
and be free from all taint of filth
and all guilt of perfidy,
to be one with them that possess Thy truth
and to share the lot of Thy Kodesh Beings,
to the end that this worm which is man 
may be lifted out of the dust
to the height of eternal things,
and rise from a spirit perverse
to an kodesh understanding,
and stand in one company before Thee
with the host everlasting and the spirits of knowledge
and the choir invisible, 
to be for ever renewed
with all things that are.
