< Psalms 135 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ הַֽלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה הֽ͏ַלְלוּ עַבְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃
2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
שֶׁעֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵית יְהוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
הַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־טוֹב יְהוָה זַמְּרוּ לִשְׁמוֹ כִּי נָעִֽים׃
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹב בָּחַר לוֹ יָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃
5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
כִּי אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־גָדוֹל יְהוָה וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ יְהוָה עָשָׂה בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ בַּיַּמִּים וְכָל־תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃
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.
מַֽעֲלֶה נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה מֽוֹצֵא־רוּחַ מֵאֽוֹצְרוֹתָֽיו׃
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
שֶֽׁהִכָּה בְּכוֹרֵי מִצְרָיִם מֵאָדָם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
שָׁלַח ׀ אֹתוֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּתוֹכֵכִי מִצְרָיִם בְּפַרְעֹה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃
10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
שֶֽׁהִכָּה גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְהָרַג מְלָכִים עֲצוּמִֽים׃
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
לְסִיחוֹן ׀ מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וּלְעוֹג מֶלֶךְ הַבָּשָׁן וּלְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת כְּנָֽעַן׃
12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
וְנָתַן אַרְצָם נַחֲלָה נַחֲלָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּֽוֹ׃
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
יְהוָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם יְהוָה זִכְרְךָ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃
14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
כִּֽי־יָדִין יְהוָה עַמּוֹ וְעַל־עֲבָדָיו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
עֲצַבֵּי הַגּוֹיִם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָֽם׃
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
פֶּֽה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאֽוּ׃
17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יַאֲזִינוּ אַף אֵין־יֶשׁ־רוּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃
18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶֽם׃
19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
בֵּית הַלֵּוִי בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה יִֽרְאֵי יְהוָה בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה ׀ מִצִיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
