Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD:

Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.

4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

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

For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath he done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,

7 He 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.

Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.

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

He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;

Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

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

Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,

13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.

14 For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself concerning his servants.

For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

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, Work of the hands of man.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!

18 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.

Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless ye the LORD: O house of Aaron, bless ye the LORD:

O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,

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

O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
