< Psalms 135 >

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.
הַלְלוּ ־ יָהּ ׀ הַֽלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהֹוָה הַֽלְלוּ עַבְדֵי יְהֹוָֽה׃
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
שֶׁעֹמְדִים בְּבֵית יְהֹוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
3 Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
הַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ כִּֽי־טוֹב יְהֹוָה זַמְּרוּ לִשְׁמוֹ כִּי נָעִֽים׃
4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹב בָּחַר לוֹ יָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
כִּי אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּֽי־גָדוֹל יְהֹוָה וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ מִכׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ יְהֹוָה עָשָׂה בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ בַּיַּמִּים וְכׇל־תְּהֹמֽוֹת׃
7 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.
מַעֲלֶה נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה מֽוֹצֵא־רוּחַ מֵאֽוֹצְרוֹתָֽיו׃
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
שֶׁהִכָּה בְּכוֹרֵי מִצְרָיִם מֵאָדָם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
שָׁלַח ׀ אוֹתֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּתוֹכֵכִי מִצְרָיִם בְּפַרְעֹה וּבְכׇל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
שֶׁהִכָּה גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְהָרַג מְלָכִים עֲצוּמִֽים׃
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
לְסִיחוֹן ׀ מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וּלְעוֹג מֶלֶךְ הַבָּשָׁן וּלְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת כְּנָֽעַן׃
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
וְנָתַן אַרְצָם נַחֲלָה נַחֲלָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּֽוֹ׃
13 Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.
יְהֹוָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם יְהֹוָה זִכְרְךָ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
כִּֽי־יָדִין יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְעַל־עֲבָדָיו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
עֲצַבֵּי הַגּוֹיִם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָֽם׃
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
פֶּֽה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאֽוּ׃
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
אׇזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יַאֲזִינוּ אַף אֵין־יֶשׁ־רוּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶֽם׃
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּרְכוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בָּרְכוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָֽה׃
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
בֵּית הַלֵּוִי בָּרְכוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה יִֽרְאֵי יְהֹוָה בָּרְכוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָֽה׃
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה ׀ מִצִּיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְֽרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
