Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

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

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

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

3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

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

4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

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

5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

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

6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

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

7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

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

8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

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

9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

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

10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

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

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

And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

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

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

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

15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

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

16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

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

17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

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

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

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

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

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

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

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