Psalms 135
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
| הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽ֭לְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה הֽ͏ַ֝לְלוּ עַבְדֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ |
2 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
| שֶׁ֣֭עֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝חַצְרֹ֗ות בֵּ֣ית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃ |
3 Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
| הַֽ֭לְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־טֹ֣וב יְהוָ֑ה זַמְּר֥וּ לִ֝שְׁמֹ֗ו כִּ֣י נָעִֽים׃ |
4 For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
| כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹ֗ב בָּחַ֣ר לֹ֣ו יָ֑הּ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִסְגֻלָּתֹֽו׃ |
5 For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
| כִּ֤י אֲנִ֣י יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּי־גָדֹ֣ול יְהוָ֑ה וַ֝אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
6 All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
| כֹּ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֥ץ יְהוָ֗ה עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בַּשָּׁמַ֥יִם וּבָאָ֑רֶץ בַּ֝יַּמִּ֗ים וְכָל־תְּהֹומֹֽות׃ |
7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
| מַֽעֲלֶ֣ה נְשִׂאִים֮ מִקְצֵ֪ה הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ בְּרָקִ֣ים לַמָּטָ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה מֹֽוצֵא־ר֝וּחַ מֵאֹֽוצְרֹותָֽיו׃ |
8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
| שֶֽׁ֭הִכָּה בְּכֹורֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם מֵ֝אָדָ֗ם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃ |
9 He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
| שָׁלַ֤ח ׀ אֹתֹ֣ות וּ֭מֹפְתִים בְּתֹוכֵ֣כִי מִצְרָ֑יִם בְּ֝פַרְעֹ֗ה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃ |
10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
| שֶֽׁ֭הִכָּה גֹּויִ֣ם רַבִּ֑ים וְ֝הָרַ֗ג מְלָכִ֥ים עֲצוּמִֽים׃ |
11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
| לְסִיחֹ֤ון ׀ מֶ֤לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֗י וּ֭לְעֹוג מֶ֣לֶךְ הַבָּשָׁ֑ן וּ֝לְכֹ֗ל מַמְלְכֹ֥ות כְּנָֽעַן׃ |
12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
| וְנָתַ֣ן אַרְצָ֣ם נַחֲלָ֑ה נַ֝חֲלָ֗ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל עַמֹּֽו׃ |
13 O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
| יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְעֹולָ֑ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה זִכְרְךָ֥ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃ |
14 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
| כִּֽי־יָדִ֣ין יְהוָ֣ה עַמֹּ֑ו וְעַל־עֲ֝בָדָ֗יו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃ |
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
| עֲצַבֵּ֣י הַ֭גֹּויִם כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃ |
16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
| פֶּֽה־לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ עֵינַ֥יִם לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֽוּ׃ |
17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
| אָזְנַ֣יִם לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יַאֲזִ֑ינוּ אַ֝֗ף אֵין־יֶשׁ־ר֥וּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃ |
18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
| כְּ֭מֹוהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃ |
19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
| בֵּ֣ית יִ֭שְׂרָאֵל בָּרֲכ֣וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה בֵּ֥ית אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן בָּרֲכ֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
| בֵּ֣ית הַ֭לֵּוִי בָּרֲכ֣וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֑ה יִֽרְאֵ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה בָּרֲכ֥וּ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃ |
21 Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
| בָּ֘ר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֨ה ׀ מִצִּיֹּ֗ון שֹׁ֘כֵ֤ן יְֽרוּשָׁלָ֗͏ִם הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
