Psalms 135
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
Praise Yah. Praise ye the name of Yhwh; praise him, O ye servants of Yhwh.
2 you who stand in Yahweh's house, in the courtyards of the house of our God.
Ye that stand in the house of Yhwh, 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 Yah; for Yhwh is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his possession.
For Yah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5 I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
For I know that Yhwh 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 Yhwh pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7 He brings the clouds from far away, making lightning bolts accompany the rain and bringing the wind out of his storehouse.
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 He killed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animals.
Who smote the firstborn 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 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 He gave us 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 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout all generations.
Thy name, O Yhwh, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Yhwh, throughout all generations.
14 For Yahweh defends his people and has compassion on his servants.
For Yhwh will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15 The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
The idols of the heathen 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 are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Descendants of Israel, bless Yahweh; descendants of Aaron, bless Yahweh.
Bless Yhwh, O house of Israel: bless Yhwh, O house of Aaron:
20 Descendants of Levi, bless Yahweh; you who honor Yahweh, bless Yahweh.
Bless Yhwh, O house of Levi: ye that fear Yhwh, bless Yhwh.
21 Blessed be Yahweh in Zion, he who lives in Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
Blessed be Yhwh out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Hallelu jah.
