Psalmorum 135
1 Alleluia. Laudate nomen Domini, laudate servi Dominum:
Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,
2 Qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
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 eius, quoniam suave.
Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
4 Quoniam Iacob elegit sibi Dominus Israel in possessionem sibi.
For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.
5 Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster prae omnibus diis.
For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.
6 Omnia quaecumque voluit, Dominus fecit in caelo, in terra, in mari, et in omnibus abyssis.
The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terrae: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:
He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
8 qui percussit primogenita Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus.
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.
9 Et misit signa, et prodigia in medio tui Aegypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos eius.
He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 Qui percussit gentes multas: et occidit reges fortes:
He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
11 Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, et Og regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan.
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
12 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, hereditatem Israel populo suo.
He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
13 Domine nomen tuum in aeternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generatione et generationem.
Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.
14 Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum: et in servis suis deprecabitur.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.
15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
16 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes, qui confidunt in eis.
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
19 Domus Israel benedicite Domino: domus Aaron benedicite Domino.
O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
20 Domus Levi benedicite Domino: qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.
O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Ierusalem.
Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
