< Psalms 135 >

1 Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,
Alleluja. Laudate nomen Domini; laudate, servi, Dominum:
2 who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: Sing praise to his name it is pleasant.
Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus; psallite nomini ejus, quoniam suave.
4 The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.
Quoniam Jacob elegit sibi Dominus; Israël in possessionem sibi.
5 For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is above all gods.
Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster præ omnibus diis.
6 All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.
Omnia quæcumque voluit Dominus fecit, in cælo, in terra, in mari et in omnibus abyssis.
7 Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.
Educens nubes ab extremo terræ, fulgura in pluviam fecit; qui producit ventos de thesauris suis.
8 The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.
Qui percussit primogenita Ægypti, ab homine usque ad pecus.
9 Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
Et misit signa et prodigia in medio tui, Ægypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos ejus.
10 Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew
Qui percussit gentes multas, et occidit reges fortes:
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
Sehon, regem Amorrhæorum, et Og, regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan:
12 He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.
et dedit terram eorum hæreditatem, hæreditatem Israël populo suo.
13 Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.
Domine, nomen tuum in æternum; Domine, memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.
14 For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.
Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum, et in servis suis deprecabitur.
15 The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.
Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.
Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
17 They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.
Aures habent, et non audient; neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.
18 Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.
Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
19 House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.
Domus Israël, benedicite Domino; domus Aaron, benedicite Domino.
20 House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
Domus Levi, benedicite Domino; qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.
21 Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Jerusalem.
