< Psalms 135 >

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,
Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good; sing praises to his name; for [it is] pleasant.
Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.
For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5 For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our LORD [is] above all gods.
For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6 Whatever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7 He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
Who smote 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 [for] a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.
And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent concerning his servants.
For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not.
A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths.
Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
18 They that make them are like them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them.
Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
