Psalms 135
1 Alleluya. Herie ye the name of the Lord; ye seruauntis of the Lord, herie ye.
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise Adonai’s name! Praise him, you servants of Adonai,
2 Ye that stonden in the hous of the Lord; in the hallis of `the hous of oure God.
you who stand in Adonai’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.
3 Herie ye the Lord, for the Lord is good; singe ye to his name, for it is swete.
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·, for Adonai is good. Sing zahmar ·musical praise· to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For the Lord chees Jacob to him silf; Israel in to possessioun to him silf.
For Yah has chosen Jacob [Supplanter] for himself; Israel [God prevails] for his own segulah ·special treasure·.
5 For Y haue knowe, that the Lord is greet; and oure God bifore alle goddis.
For I know that Adonai is great, that our Lord is above all deities.
6 The Lord made alle thingis, what euere thingis he wolde, in heuene and in erthe; in the see, and in alle depthis of watris.
Whatever Adonai pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 He ledde out cloudis fro the ferthest part of erthe; and made leitis in to reyn. Which bringith forth wyndis fro hise tresours;
who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;
8 which killide the firste gendrid thingis of Egipt, fro man `til to beeste.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt [Abode of slavery], both of man and animal;
9 He sente out signes and grete wondris, in the myddil of thee, thou Egipt; in to Farao and in to alle hise seruauntis.
Who sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt [Abode of slavery], on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 Which smoot many folkis; and killide stronge kingis.
who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 Seon, the king of Ammorreis, and Og, the king of Basan; and alle the rewmes of Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan [Humbled],
12 And he yaf the lond of hem eritage; eritage to Israel, his puple.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel [God prevails], his people.
13 Lord, thi name is with outen ende; Lord, thi memorial be in generacioun and in to generacioun.
Your name, Adonai, endures forever; your renown, Adonai, throughout all generations.
14 For the Lord schal deme his puple; and he schal be preied in hise seruauntis.
For Adonai will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.
15 The symulacris of hethene men ben siluer and gold; the werkis of the hondis of men.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16 Tho han a mouth, and schulen not speke; tho han iyen, and schulen not se.
They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17 Tho han eeris, and schulen not here; for `nether spirit is in the mouth of tho.
They have ears, but they can’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Thei that maken tho, be maad lijk tho; and alle that tristen in tho.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 The hous of Israel, blesse ye the Lord; the hous of Aaron, blesse ye the Lord.
House of Israel [God prevails], praise Adonai! House of Aaron [Light-bringer], praise Adonai!
20 The hous of Leuy, blesse ye the Lord; ye that dreden the Lord, `blesse ye the Lord.
House of Levi [United with], praise Adonai! You who fear Adonai, praise Adonai!
21 Blessid be the Lord of Syon; that dwellith in Jerusalem.
Blessed be Adonai from Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking], Who dwells at Jerusalem [City of peace]. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
