Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,

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

ye who 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 praise to his name it is pleasant.

Praise ye Jehovah, for Jehovah is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.

4 The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.

For Jehovah has chosen Jacob to 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 that our Lord is above all gods.

6 All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.

Whatever Jehovah pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps,

7 Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.

who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,

8 The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.

who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast,

9 Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants,

10 Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew

who smote many nations, and killed 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 He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.

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

13 Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.

Thy name, O Jehovah, is forever, thy memorial, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

14 For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.

For Jehovah will judge his people, and will relent concerning his servants.

15 The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.

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

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.

They have mouths, but they speak not. They have eyes, but they see not.

17 They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.

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

18 Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.

Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.

19 House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.

O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah. O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah.

20 House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah. Ye who fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

21 Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
