Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

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

2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes 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 praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

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

4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

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

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.

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

6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.

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

7 He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

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 smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.

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

9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

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

10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

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

12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

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

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

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

14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

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

15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

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

16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

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

17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

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

18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

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

19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

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

20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

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

21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

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