Psalms 135
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,
2 Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.
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 the Lord, for the Lord is good: Sing praise to his name it is pleasant.
4 For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.
The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.
5 For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.
For 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 he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.
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.
Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;
The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.
9 Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:
Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12 And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
He gave their land for possession, possession 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, is forever; your memorial world without end.
14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.
For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.
15 The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:
The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.
16 A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;
They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.
17 Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.
They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.
Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
19 O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;
House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.
20 O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.
House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
21 Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
