Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

Praise Yahweh. Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,

you who stand in Yahweh's house, in the courtyards of the house of our God.

3 Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

Praise Yahweh, for he is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant to do so.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his possession.

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.

I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.

Whatever Yahweh desires, he does in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.

7 He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

He brings the clouds from far away, making lightning bolts accompany the rain and bringing the wind out of his storehouse.

8 He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.

He killed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animals.

9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

He attacked many nations and killed mighty kings,

11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

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

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout all generations.

14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

For Yahweh defends his people and has compassion on his servants.

15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

Those idols have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;

17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

they have ears, but they do not hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

Those who make them are like them, as is everyone who trusts in them.

19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

Descendants of Israel, bless Yahweh; descendants of Aaron, bless Yahweh.

20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

Descendants of Levi, bless Yahweh; you who honor Yahweh, bless Yahweh.

21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Blessed be Yahweh in Zion, he who lives in Jerusalem. Praise Yahweh.
