Psalm 135

1 Hallelu YAH! Praise the name of YHWH! Give praise, O 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 praises to His name, for [it is] pleasant!

4 For YAH has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His possession.

5 For I know that YHWH [is] great, and our Lord is greater than all gods!

6 All that YHWH delights in, He does, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all the depths,

7 bringing up the clouds from the ends of the earth. He has made lightning for the rain, bringing forth the wind from His storehouses—

8 who struck the firstborn of Egypt, from man even to beast.

9 He sent forth signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, unto Pharaoh and all of his servants—

10 who struck many nations and killed mighty kings,

11 even Sihon king of the Amorite, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And He gave their land [as] an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel His people.

13 O YHWH, Your name [is] forever; YHWH, Your memorial [is] to generation and generation!

14 For YHWH will vindicate His people, and He will have compassion on His servants.

15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, the work of the hands of man.

16 Mouths [are] unto them, and they do not speak; eyes [are] unto them, and they do not see.

17 Ears [are] unto them and they do not hear; indeed, there [is] no breath in their mouths.

18 Their makers shall come to be 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; [all you] fearing YHWH, bless YHWH!

21 Blessed be YHWH from Zion, the One dwelling [in] Jerusalem! Praise YAH!
