Psalms 135

1 Praise YAH! Praise the Name of YHWH, || Praise, you servants of YHWH,2 Who are standing in the house of YHWH, || In the courts of the house of our God.3 Praise YAH! For YHWH [is] good, || Sing praise to His Name, for [it is] pleasant.4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, || Israel for His peculiar treasure.

5 For I have known that YHWH [is] great, || Indeed, our Lord [is] above all gods.6 All that YHWH pleased He has done, || In the heavens and in earth, || In the seas and all deep places,7 Causing vapors to ascend from the end of the earth, || He has made lightnings for the rain, || Bringing forth wind from His treasures.8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, || From man to beast.9 He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, || On Pharaoh and on all his servants.10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, || And Og king of Bashan, || And all kingdoms of Canaan.12 And He gave their land an inheritance, || An inheritance to His people Israel,13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, || O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.14 For YHWH judges His people, || And comforts Himself for His servants.

15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, || Work of the hands of man.16 They have a mouth, and they do not speak, || They have eyes, and they do not see,17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, || Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!18 Their makers are like them, || Everyone who is trusting in them.19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, || O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, || Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, || Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
