Psalmorum 135
1 Alleluia. Laudate nomen Domini, laudate servi Dominum:
Hallelujah. 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 that 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 unto his name; for it is lovely.
4 Quoniam Iacob elegit sibi Dominus Israel in possessionem sibi.
For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.
5 Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster prae omnibus diis.
For I well know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Omnia quaecumque voluit, Dominus fecit in caelo, in terra, in mari, et in omnibus abyssis.
Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.
7 Educens nubes ab extremo terrae: fulgura in pluviam fecit. Qui producit ventos de thesauris suis:
He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
8 qui percussit primogenita Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus.
[He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
9 Et misit signa, et prodigia in medio tui Aegypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos eius.
Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
10 Qui percussit gentes multas: et occidit reges fortes:
Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
11 Sehon regem Amorrhaeorum, et Og regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan.
Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 Et dedit terram eorum hereditatem, hereditatem Israel populo suo.
And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Domine nomen tuum in aeternum: Domine memoriale tuum in generatione et generationem.
O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
14 Quia iudicabit Dominus populum suum: et in servis suis deprecabitur.
For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
15 Simulacra Gentium argentum, et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
16 Os habent, et non loquentur: oculos habent, et non videbunt.
Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
17 Aures habent, et non audient: neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea: et omnes, qui confidunt in eis.
Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
19 Domus Israel benedicite Domino: domus Aaron benedicite Domino.
O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.
20 Domus Levi benedicite Domino: qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.
O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Ierusalem.
Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
