Psalms 135
|
| Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord. | Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah, |
| You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God, | Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God. |
| Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing. | Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. |
| For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property. | For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession. |
| I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods. | For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods. |
| The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters. | Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps; |
| He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses. | Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries; |
| He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast. | Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast; |
| He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants. | Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants; |
| He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death; | Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings, |
| Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; | Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan, |
| And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people. | And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people. |
| O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end. | Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations. |
| For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants. | For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants. |
| The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands. |
| They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see; | They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not; |
| They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths. | They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths. |
| Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them. | They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them. |
| Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron: | O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah: |
| Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise. | O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah. |
| Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised. | Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 136 |
