Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!

Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,

2 Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God!

who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: Sing praise to his name it is pleasant.

4 For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.

The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.

5 I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord is above all gods.

For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

6 All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.

All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.

7 He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.

Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.

8 He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.

9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!

Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;

Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew

11 Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;

Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.

He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!

Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.

14 For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.

For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.

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

The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.

They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.

17 They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.

They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.

Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.

19 Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!

20 Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

21 Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!

Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
