< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise JAH. Praise the name of YHWH. Praise him, you servants of YHWH,
Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the LORD; give praise, O ye servants of the LORD,
2 you who stand in the house of YHWH, in the courts of our God's house.
Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise JAH, for YHWH is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.
4 For JAH has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His own treasure.
5 For I know that YHWH is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever YHWH pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath He done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
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;
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries.
8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10 who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel His people.
13 Your name, YHWH, endures forever; your renown, YHWH, throughout all generations.
O LORD, Thy name endureth for ever; thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14 For YHWH will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
For the LORD will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17 They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19 House of Israel, praise YHWH. House of Aaron, praise YHWH.
O house of Israel, bless ye the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless ye the LORD;
20 House of Levi, praise YHWH. You who fear YHWH, praise YHWH.
O house of Levi, bless ye the LORD; ye that fear the LORD, bless ye the LORD.
21 Blessed be YHWH from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
