Psalms 135

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

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

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

Ye 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 unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.

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

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto 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:

Whatsoever 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 causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he 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 tokens and wonders 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 heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

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

Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy 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 unto them: [so is] every one that trusteth 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: ye 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 dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
