Psalmorum 135
1 Alleluja. Laudate nomen Domini; laudate, servi, Dominum:
Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD. Praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2 qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
you who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God's house.
3 Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus; psallite nomini ejus, quoniam suave.
Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 Quoniam Jacob elegit sibi Dominus; Israël in possessionem sibi.

5 Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster præ omnibus diis.
For I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Omnia quæcumque voluit Dominus fecit, in cælo, in terra, in mari et in omnibus abyssis.
Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terræ, fulgura in pluviam fecit; qui producit ventos de thesauris suis.
who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Qui percussit primogenita Ægypti, ab homine usque ad pecus.
Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
9 Et misit signa et prodigia in medio tui, Ægypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos ejus.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10 Qui percussit gentes multas, et occidit reges fortes:
who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
11 Sehon, regem Amorrhæorum, et Og, regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan:
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 et dedit terram eorum hæreditatem, hæreditatem Israël populo suo.
and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.
13 Domine, nomen tuum in æternum; Domine, memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.
Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.
14 Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum, et in servis suis deprecabitur.
For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on 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 mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.
17 Aures habent, et non audient; neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19 Domus Israël, benedicite Domino; domus Aaron, benedicite Domino.
