Psalmorum 135
1 Alleluja. Laudate nomen Domini; laudate, servi, Dominum:
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
2 qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God!
3 Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus; psallite nomini ejus, quoniam suave.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 Quoniam Jacob elegit sibi Dominus; Israël in possessionem sibi.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster præ omnibus diis.
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.
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terræ, fulgura in pluviam fecit; qui producit ventos de thesauris suis.
He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 Qui percussit primogenita Ægypti, ab homine usque ad pecus.
He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9 Et misit signa et prodigia in medio tui, Ægypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos ejus.
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 Qui percussit gentes multas, et occidit reges fortes:
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Sehon, regem Amorrhæorum, et Og, regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan:
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 et dedit terram eorum hæreditatem, hæreditatem Israël populo suo.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
13 Domine, nomen tuum in æternum; Domine, memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum, et in servis suis deprecabitur.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath 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 speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
17 Aures habent, et non audient; neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Domus Israël, benedicite Domino; domus Aaron, benedicite Domino.
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 Domus Levi, benedicite Domino; qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Jerusalem.
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
