< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD. Praise him, you servants of the LORD,
הַלְלוּ יָהּ ׀ הַֽלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָה הֽ͏ַלְלוּ עַבְדֵי יְהוָֽה׃
2 you who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God's house.
שֶׁעֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵית יְהוָה בְּחַצְרוֹת בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
הַֽלְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־טוֹב יְהוָה זַמְּרוּ לִשְׁמוֹ כִּי נָעִֽים׃
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹב בָּחַר לוֹ יָהּ יִשְׂרָאֵל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃
5 For I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
כִּי אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־גָדוֹל יְהוָה וַאֲדֹנֵינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
6 Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵץ יְהוָה עָשָׂה בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ בַּיַּמִּים וְכָל־תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃
7 who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
מַֽעֲלֶה נְשִׂאִים מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ בְּרָקִים לַמָּטָר עָשָׂה מֽוֹצֵא־רוּחַ מֵאֽוֹצְרוֹתָֽיו׃
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
שֶֽׁהִכָּה בְּכוֹרֵי מִצְרָיִם מֵאָדָם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃
9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
שָׁלַח ׀ אֹתוֹת וּמֹפְתִים בְּתוֹכֵכִי מִצְרָיִם בְּפַרְעֹה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃
10 who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
שֶֽׁהִכָּה גּוֹיִם רַבִּים וְהָרַג מְלָכִים עֲצוּמִֽים׃
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
לְסִיחוֹן ׀ מֶלֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִי וּלְעוֹג מֶלֶךְ הַבָּשָׁן וּלְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת כְּנָֽעַן׃
12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
וְנָתַן אַרְצָם נַחֲלָה נַחֲלָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל עַמּֽוֹ׃
13 Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.
יְהוָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם יְהוָה זִכְרְךָ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃
14 For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
כִּֽי־יָדִין יְהוָה עַמּוֹ וְעַל־עֲבָדָיו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
עֲצַבֵּי הַגּוֹיִם כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי אָדָֽם׃
16 They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
פֶּֽה־לָהֶם וְלֹא יְדַבֵּרוּ עֵינַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יִרְאֽוּ׃
17 They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
אָזְנַיִם לָהֶם וְלֹא יַאֲזִינוּ אַף אֵין־יֶשׁ־רוּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃
18 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
כְּמוֹהֶם יִהְיוּ עֹשֵׂיהֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵחַ בָּהֶֽם׃
19 House of Israel, praise the LORD. House of Aaron, praise the LORD.
בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בֵּית אַהֲרֹן בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
20 House of Levi, praise the LORD. You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD.
בֵּית הַלֵּוִי בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָה יִֽרְאֵי יְהוָה בָּרֲכוּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.
בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה ׀ מִצִיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְֽרוּשָׁלִָם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
