Psalm 135

Psalm 135

¹Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, ²Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God. ³Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. ⁴For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

⁵For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods. ⁶Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps; ⁷Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries: ⁸Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; ⁹Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants; ¹⁰Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings, ¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; ¹²And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people. ¹³Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation. ¹⁴For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands: ¹⁶They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; ¹⁷They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth. ¹⁸They that make them are like unto them, —every one that confideth in them. ¹⁹House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah; ²⁰House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah. ²¹Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
