Psalms 135
1 Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord;
2 Who are standing in the house of YHWH, In the courts of the house of our God.
Ye that 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.
Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.
4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.
5 For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.
For I well know that the Lord is great, and that 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,
Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the 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.
He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
[He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
9 He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
14 For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.
For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
16 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.
20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
