Psalms 135

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

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,

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

Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.

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

For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

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

I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.

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

The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

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

He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

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

He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

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

He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:

He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and 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 as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

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

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

O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

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

For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

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

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

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

They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

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

They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

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

Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.

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

Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:

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

Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.

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

Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
