Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

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

2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes 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 praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

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

4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

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

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.

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

6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.

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

7 He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

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 smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.

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

9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

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

10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,

11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

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

12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

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

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

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

14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

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

15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

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

16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

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

17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

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

18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.

19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,

20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

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

21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

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