Psalms 135

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

Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;

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

Who stand In the house of Yahweh, 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 Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;

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

For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.

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

For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.

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

Whatsoever Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding 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.

Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.

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

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;

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

Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:

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

Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

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

And gave their land as 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 Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.

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

For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.

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

The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:

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

A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

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

Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.

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

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.

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

O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;

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

O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.

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

Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
