Psalmorum 135
1 Alleluia. Laudate nomen Domini, laudate servi Dominum:
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 Qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus: psallite nomini eius, quoniam suave.
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Quoniam Iacob elegit sibi Dominus Israel in possessionem sibi.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster præ omnibus diis.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
6 Omnia quæcumque voluit, Dominus fecit in cælo, in terra, in mari, et in omnibus abyssis.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terræ: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
8 qui percussit primogenita Ægypti ab homine usque ad pecus.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9 Et misit signa, et prodigia in medio tui Ægypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos eius.
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
10 Qui percussit gentes multas: et occidit reges fortes:
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
11 Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, et Og regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, hereditatem Israel populo suo.
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Domine nomen tuum in æternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum: et in servis suis deprecabitur.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
16 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes, qui confidunt in eis.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
19 Domus Israel benedicite Domino: domus Aaron benedicite Domino.
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 Domus Levi benedicite Domino: qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Ierusalem.
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
