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 that 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 the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises to his name; for it is pleasant.

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

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his special 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 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;

Whatever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

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 vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

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

Who smote 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;

Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

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

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

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

And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage 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; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

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

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent 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 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; neither is there any 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;

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

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

Bless 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!

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
