Psalms 135
1 Praise Yah. Praise ye the name of Yhwh; praise him, O ye servants of Yhwh.
Praise JAH. Praise the name of Jehovah. Praise him, you servants of Jehovah,
2 Ye that stand in the house of Yhwh, in the courts of the house of our God,
you who stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of our God's house.
3 Praise Yah; for Yhwh is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
Praise JAH, for Jehovah is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For Yah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
For JAH has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
5 For I know that Yhwh is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
For I know that Jehovah 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.
Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas 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.
who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13 Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations.
Your name, Jehovah, endures forever; your renown, Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and have 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 can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 Bless Yhwh, O house of Israel: bless Yhwh, O house of Aaron:
House of Israel, praise Jehovah. House of Aaron, praise Jehovah.
20 Bless Yhwh, O house of Levi: ye that fear Yhwh, bless Yhwh.
House of Levi, praise Jehovah. You who fear Jehovah, praise Jehovah.
21 Blessed be Yhwh out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelu jah.
Blessed be Jehovah from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
