Psalms 135
1 Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,
| הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽ֭לְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה הֽ͏ַ֝לְלוּ עַבְדֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ |
2 who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
| שֶׁ֣֭עֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝חַצְרֹ֗ות בֵּ֣ית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
3 Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
| הַֽ֭לְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־טֹ֣וב יְהוָ֑ה זַמְּר֥וּ לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ו כִּ֣י נָעִֽים׃ |
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
| כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹ֗ב בָּחַ֣ר לֹ֣ו יָ֑הּ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִסְגֻלָּתֹֽו׃ |
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;
| כִּ֤י אֲנִ֣י יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּי־גָדֹ֣ול יְהוָ֑ה וַ֝אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
6 all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.
| כֹּ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֥ץ יְהוָ֗ה עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בַּשָּׁמַ֥יִם וּבָאָ֑רֶץ בַּ֝יַּמִּ֗ים וְכָל־תְּהֹומֹֽות׃ |
7 Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
| מַֽעֲלֶ֣ה נְשִׂאִים֮ מִקְצֵ֪ה הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ בְּרָקִ֣ים לַמָּטָ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה מֹֽוצֵא־ר֝וּחַ מֵאֹֽוצְרֹותָֽיו׃ |
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
| שֶֽׁ֭הִכָּה בְּכֹורֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם מֵ֝אָדָ֗ם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃ |
9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.
| שָׁלַ֤ח ׀ אֹתֹ֣ות וּ֭מֹפְתִים בְּתֹוכֵ֣כִי מִצְרָ֑יִם בְּ֝פַרְעֹ֗ה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃ |
10 Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;
| שֶֽׁ֭הִכָּה גֹּויִ֣ם רַבִּ֑ים וְ֝הָרַ֗ג מְלָכִ֥ים עֲצוּמִֽים׃ |
11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
| לְסִיחֹ֤ון ׀ מֶ֤לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֗י וּ֭לְעֹוג מֶ֣לֶךְ הַבָּשָׁ֑ן וּ֝לְכֹ֗ל מַמְלְכֹ֥ות כְּנָֽעַן׃ |
12 and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
| וְנָתַ֣ן אַרְצָ֣ם נַחֲלָ֑ה נַ֝חֲלָ֗ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל עַמֹּֽו׃ |
13 O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.
| יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְעֹולָ֑ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה זִכְרְךָ֥ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃ |
14 For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
| כִּֽי־יָדִ֣ין יְהוָ֣ה עַמֹּ֑ו וְעַל־עֲ֝בָדָ֗יו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃ |
15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
| עֲצַבֵּ֣י הַ֭גֹּויִם כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃ |
16 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;
| פֶּֽה־לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ עֵינַ֥יִם לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֽוּ׃ |
17 they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
| אָזְנַ֣יִם לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יַאֲזִ֑ינוּ אַ֝֗ף אֵין־יֶשׁ־ר֥וּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃ |
18 Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
| כְּ֭מֹוהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃ |
19 O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:
| בֵּ֣ית יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל בָּרֲכ֣וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה בֵּ֥ית אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן בָּרֲכ֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
20 O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
| בֵּ֣ית הַ֭לֵּוִי בָּרֲכ֣וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה יִֽרְאֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה בָּרֲכ֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
21 Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
| בָּ֘ר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מִצִּיֹּ֗ון שֹׁ֘כֵ֤ן יְֽרוּשָׁלָ֗͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
