Psalms 135
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah,
2 you who stand in Yahweh's house, in the courtyards of the house of our God.
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise Yahweh, for he is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant to do so.
Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his possession.
For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession.
5 I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatever Yahweh desires, he does in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 He brings the clouds from far away, making lightning bolts accompany the rain and bringing the wind out of his storehouse.
Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 He killed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animals.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
10 He attacked many nations and killed mighty kings,
Who 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 king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 He gave us their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.
And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout all generations.
Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 For Yahweh defends his people and has compassion on his servants.
For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants.
15 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
16 Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
17 they have ears, but they do not hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.
They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.
They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19 Descendants of Israel, bless Yahweh; descendants of Aaron, bless Yahweh.
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:
20 Descendants of Levi, bless Yahweh; you who honor Yahweh, bless Yahweh.
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 Blessed be Yahweh in Zion, he who lives in Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
