Psalms 135

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,

2 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, 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 Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.

Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.

4 For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.

For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;

6 All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,

all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.

7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.

8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.

10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;

11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:

12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,

and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13 O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.

O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.

14 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;

17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!

they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.

18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,

O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:

20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21 Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!

Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
