Psalms 135

1 Praise ye YHWH. Praise ye the name of YHWH; praise him, O ye servants of YHWH.

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 YHWH, in the courts of the house of our Elohim,

Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God!

3 Praise YHWH; for YHWH is good: sing praises 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 YAH hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

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

5 For I know that YHWH is great, and that our YHWH is above all elohim.

I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever YHWH pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.

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.

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 tokens and wonders 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 heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

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

13 Thy name, O YHWH, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O YHWH, throughout all generations.

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

14 For YHWH will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

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

15 The idols of the heathen 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 mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

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

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

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

18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

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

19 Bless YHWH, O house of Israel: bless YHWH, O house of Aaron:

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

20 Bless YHWH, O house of Levi: ye that fear YHWH, bless YHWH.

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

21 Blessed be YHWH out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye YHWH.

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