Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,

2 Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.

Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.

4 For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;

6 Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.

7 Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:

Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,

Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:

12 And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.

14 For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

16 They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;

17 They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.

18 They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.

Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.

19 House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:

20 House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21 Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!

Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
