Psalms 135

1 Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, [ye his] servants,

Praise JAH. Praise the name of YHWH. Praise him, you servants of YHWH,

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

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

3 Praise ye the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for [it is] good.

Praise JAH, for YHWH is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

For JAH has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;

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

6 all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.

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

7 Who brings up clouds from the extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.

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;

8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.

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

9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.

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

10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;

who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:

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

12 and gave their land [for] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

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

13 O Lord, thy name [endures] for ever, and thy memorial to all generations.

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

14 For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.

For YHWH will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

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

16 They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see;

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

17 they have ears, but they cannot hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.

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

18 Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.

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

19 O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord:

House of Israel, praise YHWH. House of Aaron, praise YHWH.

20 O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

House of Levi, praise YHWH. You who fear YHWH, praise YHWH.

21 Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.

Blessed be YHWH from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise JAH.
