Psalms 135

1 Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;

Praise you the LORD. Praise you the name of the LORD; praise him, O you servants of the LORD.

2 Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.

You that stand in the house of the LORD, 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 the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises to his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.

For the LORD has chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.

For I know that the LORD is great, and that 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:

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

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.

He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings 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 tokens and wonders into the middle of you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on 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 heritage, an heritage to Israel his people.

13 O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.

Your name, O LORD, endures for ever; and your memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:

The idols of the heathen 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 mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.

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

18 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.

They that make them are like to them: so is every one that trusts in them.

19 O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;

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

20 O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.

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

21 Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwells at Jerusalem. Praise you the LORD.
