Psalms 135

1 Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,

Praise ye the LORD! 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 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 ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!

4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.

5 For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.

I know that the LORD is great; 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,

All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon 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.

He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.

8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.

He smote the first-born 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 thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!

10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,

He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;

11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;

12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,

And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.

13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.

Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!

14 For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.

For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.

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 men's hands.

16 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.

17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!

They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.

18 Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.

They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,

Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!

20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.

Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!

Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
