Psalms 135
1 Praise Yah. Praise ye the name of Yhwh; praise him, O ye servants of Yhwh.
Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
2 Ye that stand in the house of Yhwh, 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 Yah; for Yhwh is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.
4 For Yah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that Yhwh is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, 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 YHWH pleased He has done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
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.
Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
13 Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations.
O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
14 For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for 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, Work of the hands of man.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, 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 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19 Bless Yhwh, O house of Israel: bless Yhwh, O house of Aaron:
O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
20 Bless Yhwh, O house of Levi: ye that fear Yhwh, bless Yhwh.
O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
21 Blessed be Yhwh out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelu jah.
Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
