Psalms 135

1 Alleluia. Praise you the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [you his] servants,

Praise ye Yah, Praise ye the Name of Yahweh, Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh;

2 who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

Who stand In the house of Yahweh, In the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise you the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.

Praise ye Yah, For good is Yahweh, Sing praises to his Name, For it is full of delight;

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

For, Jacob, hath Yah chosen for himself, Israel, for his own treasure.

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;

For, I, know that great is Yahweh, yea, our Lord, is beyond all gods.

6 all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.

Whatsoever Yahweh hath pleased, he hath done, —in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas, and all resounding deeps:

7 Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.

Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, hath he made, bringing forth wind out of his treasuries.

8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man, and of beast;

9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.

Sent signs and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings;

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:

Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

12 and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13 O Lord, your name [endures] for ever, and your memorial to all generations.

O Yahweh! thy Name, is age-abiding, —O Yahweh! thy memorial, is to generation after generation.

14 For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.

For Yahweh will vindicate his people, —and, on his servants, have compassion.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

The idols of the nations, are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men:

16 They have a mouth, but they can’t speak; they have eyes, but they can’t see;

A mouth, have they, but they speak not, Eyes, have they, but they see not;

17 they have ears, but they can’t hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.

Ears, have they, but they hear not, Nose, —there is no breath in their mouth.

18 Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.

Like unto them, shall be they who make them, every one who trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless you the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless you the Lord:

O house of Israel! bless Yahweh, O house of Aaron! bless Yahweh;

20 O house of Levi, bless you the Lord: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

O house of Levi! bless Yahweh, Ye that revere Yahweh! bless Yahweh.

21 Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.

Blessed be Yahweh out of Zion, Who inhabiteth Jerusalem, Praise ye Yah!
