Psalms 135

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

Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

2 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

You that 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 ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

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

For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

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

For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God 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,

Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the 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.

He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

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

He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

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

He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

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

Sehon king of the Amorrhites, 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, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

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

Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

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

For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

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

The idols of the Gentiles 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 speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

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

They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

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

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

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

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

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

Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
