Psalms 135
1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;
2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
Praise ye Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.
6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
Whatsoever Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding deeps:
7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.
14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.
18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
