< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
alleluia laudate nomen Domini laudate servi Dominum
2 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
qui statis in domo Domini in atriis domus Dei nostri
3 Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
laudate Dominum quia bonus Dominus psallite nomini eius quoniam suave
4 For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
quoniam Iacob elegit sibi Dominus Israhel in possessionem sibi
5 For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus et Deus noster prae omnibus diis
6 All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
omnia quae voluit Dominus fecit in caelo et in terra in mare et in omnibus abyssis
7 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
educens nubes ab extremo terrae fulgora in pluviam fecit qui producit ventos de thesauris suis
8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
qui percussit primogenita Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus
9 He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
emisit signa et prodigia in medio tui Aegypte in Pharaonem et in omnes servos eius
10 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
qui percussit gentes multas et occidit reges fortes
11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
Seon regem Amorreorum et Og regem Basan et omnia regna Chanaan
12 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
et dedit terram eorum hereditatem hereditatem Israhel populo suo
13 O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
Domine nomen tuum in aeternum Domine memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem
14 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum et in servis suis deprecabitur
15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
simulacra gentium argentum et aurum opera manuum hominum
16 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
os habent et non loquentur oculos habent et non videbunt
17 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
aures habent et non audient neque enim est spiritus in ore eorum
18 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea et omnes qui sperant in eis
19 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
domus Israhel benedicite Domino domus Aaron benedicite Domino
20 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
domus Levi benedicite Domino qui timetis Dominum benedicite Domino
21 Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
benedictus Dominus ex Sion qui habitat in Hierusalem
