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 who 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 ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.
I know that the LORD is great; 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:
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in 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.
He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;
He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9 Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to 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; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on 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 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; And there is no 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 them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
Praise 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!
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
