Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,

2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

Who are standing in the house of YHWH, In the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

All that YHWH pleased He has done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,

7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.

9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,

11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

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

And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,

13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.

15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,

17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!

18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

Their makers are like them, Everyone 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 YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,

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

O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
