Psalms, 135

¹ Praise Jah, YOU people!^*1 Praise the name of Jehovah, Offer praise, O servants of Jehovah,

² YOU who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courtyards of the house of our God.

³ Praise Jah,^*1 for Jehovah is good. Make melody to his name, for it is pleasant.

⁴ For Jah has chosen even Jacob for himself, Israel for his special property.

⁵ For I myself well know that Jehovah is great, And our Lord^*1 is more than all [other] gods.^*2

⁶ Everything that Jehovah delighted [to do] he has done In the heavens and in the earth, in the seas and all the watery deeps.^*1

⁷ He is causing vapors to ascend from the extremity^*1 of the earth; He has made even sluices^*2 for the rain; He is bringing forth the wind^*3 from his storehouses,

⁸ He who struck down the firstborn ones of Egypt, Both man^*1 and beast.

⁹ He sent signs and miracles into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharʹaoh and upon all his servants;

¹⁰ He who struck down many nations And killed potent kings,

¹¹ Even Siʹhon the king of the Amʹor·ites And Og the king of Baʹshan And all the kingdoms of Caʹnaan,

¹² And who gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel his people.

¹³ O Jehovah, your name is to time indefinite. O Jehovah, your memorial is to generation after generation.^*1

¹⁴ For Jehovah will plead the cause of his people, And he will feel regret even over his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of the hands of earthling man.^*1

¹⁶ A mouth they have, but they can speak nothing; Eyes they have, but they can see nothing;

¹⁷ Ears they have, but they can give ear to nothing. Also there exists no spirit^*1 in their mouth.

¹⁸ Those making them will become just like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.

¹⁹ O house of Israel, do YOU men bless Jehovah. O house of Aaron, do YOU men bless Jehovah.

²⁰ O house of Leʹvi, do YOU men bless Jehovah. YOU fearers of Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

²¹ Blessed out of Zion be Jehovah, Who is residing in Jerusalem. Praise Jah, YOU people!^*1
