Psalms 135

1 Praise JAH. Praise the name of YHWH. Praise him, you servants of YHWH,

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], 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 the LORD; for the LORD [is] good; sing praises to 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 to himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar 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;

Whatever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

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;

He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth 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;

[Who] sent tokens 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 great 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 to Israel his people.

13 Your name, YHWH, endures forever; your renown, YHWH, throughout all generations.

Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] 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 he will repent concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

The idols of the heathen [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 are like them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them.

19 House of Israel, praise YHWH. House of Aaron, praise YHWH.

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

20 House of Levi, praise YHWH. You who fear YHWH, praise YHWH.

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless 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. Praise ye the LORD.
