Psalms 135

1 Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD. Praise him, you servants of the LORD,

Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

2 you who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God's house.

Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

7 who causes the clouds to rise from the farthest parts of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;

Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:

8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;

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

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, 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 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

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

12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

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

Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

14 For the LORD will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

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

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

16 They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but they can't see.

They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

17 They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

18 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.

19 House of Israel, praise the LORD. House of Aaron, praise the LORD.

House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

20 House of Levi, praise the LORD. You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD.

House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
