Psalms 135

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

Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!

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

Ye 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 ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!

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

For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.

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

I know that the LORD is great; That 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 pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon 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:

He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.

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

He smote the first-born 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 thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,

He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;

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

Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;

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

And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.

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

Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!

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

For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.

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

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

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

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.

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

They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.

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

They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.

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

Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!

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

Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

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

Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
