Psalms 135
1 Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,
2 Who are standing in the house of YHWH, In the courts of the house of our God.
who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.
Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.
4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.
For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;
6 All that YHWH pleased He has done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.
7 Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.
10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;
11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:
12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.
14 For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.
For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
16 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;
17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.
18 Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.
19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:
20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
