< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;
Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, Praise, you servants of YHWH,
2 Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.
Who are standing in the house of YHWH, 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 YAH! For YHWH [is] good, Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.
4 For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.
For I have known that YHWH [is] great, Indeed, 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:
All that YHWH pleased He has done, In the heavens 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.
Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, He has made lightnings for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, From man to beast.
9 Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:
Who struck 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 as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel,
13 O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.
O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.
14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
For YHWH judges His people, And comforts Himself for 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, Work of the hands of man.
16 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
They have a mouth, and they do not speak, They have eyes, and they do not see,
17 Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.
They have ears, and they do not give ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!
18 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
Their makers are like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19 O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
O house of Israel, bless YHWH, O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,
20 O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
O house of Levi, bless YHWH, Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.
21 Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
