Psalm 135

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

²Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

³Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah is good, Sing praise to His name, for it is pleasant.

⁴For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.

⁵For I have known that great is Jehovah, Yea, our Lord is above all gods.

⁶All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,

⁷Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.

⁸Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.

⁹He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

¹⁰Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

¹¹Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.

¹²And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,

¹³O Jehovah, Thy name is to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.

¹⁴For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.

¹⁶A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

¹⁷Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!

¹⁸Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

¹⁹O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,

²⁰O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

²¹Blessed is Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise ye Jah!
