< 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 יְהוָה הֽ͏ַלְלוּ עַבְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃
2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
שֶׁעֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵית יְהוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.
הַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־טוֹב יְהוָה 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 כִּי־גָדוֹל יְהוָה וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ יְהוָה עָשָׂה בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ בַּיַּמִּים וְכָל־תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃
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.
מַֽעֲלֶה נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה מֽוֹצֵא־רוּחַ מֵאֽוֹצְרוֹתָֽיו׃
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
שֶֽׁהִכָּה 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 ׀ אֹתוֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּתוֹכֵכִי מִצְרָיִם בְּפַרְעֹה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
שֶֽׁהִכָּה 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.
יְהוָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם יְהוָה זִכְרְךָ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃
14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
כִּֽי־יָדִין יְהוָה 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.
אָזְנַיִם 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 בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
בֵּית הַלֵּוִי בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה יִֽרְאֵי יְהוָה בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה ׀ מִצִיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
