< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
2 Who are standing in the house of YHWH, 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.
4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, 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,
7 Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
9 He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,
11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
14 For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for His servants.
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
18 Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
