Psalms 135
1 Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
| הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ הַֽלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה הֽ͏ַלְלוּ עַבְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃ |
2 Who are standing in the house of YHWH, In the courts of the house of our God.
| שֶׁעֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵית יְהוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
3 Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.
| הַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־טוֹב יְהוָה זַמְּרוּ לִשְׁמוֹ כִּי נָעִֽים׃ |
4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
| כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹב בָּחַר לוֹ יָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃ |
5 For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.
| כִּי אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־גָדוֹל יְהוָה וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
6 All that YHWH pleased He has done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
| כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ יְהוָה עָשָׂה בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ בַּיַּמִּים וְכָל־תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃ |
7 Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
| מַֽעֲלֶה נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה מֽוֹצֵא־רוּחַ מֵאֽוֹצְרוֹתָֽיו׃ |
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
| שֶֽׁהִכָּה בְּכוֹרֵי מִצְרָיִם מֵאָדָם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃ |
9 He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
| שָׁלַח ׀ אֹתוֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּתוֹכֵכִי מִצְרָיִם בְּפַרְעֹה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃ |
10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
| שֶֽׁהִכָּה גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְהָרַג מְלָכִים עֲצוּמִֽים׃ |
11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
| לְסִיחוֹן ׀ מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וּלְעוֹג מֶלֶךְ הַבָּשָׁן וּלְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת כְּנָֽעַן׃ |
12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
| וְנָתַן אַרְצָם נַחֲלָה נַחֲלָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּֽוֹ׃ |
13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
| יְהוָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם יְהוָה זִכְרְךָ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃ |
14 For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.
| כִּֽי־יָדִין יְהוָה עַמּוֹ וְעַל־עֲבָדָיו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃ |
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
| עֲצַבֵּי הַגּוֹיִם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָֽם׃ |
16 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
| פֶּֽה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאֽוּ׃ |
17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
| אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יַאֲזִינוּ אַף אֵין־יֶשׁ־רוּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃ |
18 Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
| כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶֽם׃ |
19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
| בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
| בֵּית הַלֵּוִי בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה יִֽרְאֵי יְהוָה בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
| בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה ׀ מִצִיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
