< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise ye Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding deeps:
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9 Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and 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 as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15 The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
16 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
17 Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
19 O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
