< Psalms 135 >

1 Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise the Lord.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:
Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 praise the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing psalms to his name, for it is sweet.
Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.
For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is before all gods.
For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6 All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.
All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7 He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.
Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.
He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:
Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12 And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.
And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13 Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.
O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants.
For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16 They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17 They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.
Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
18 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.
Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
