133 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together!

² As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes,

³ As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age!

134 A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night.

² Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.

³ Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the heavens and earth!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰ Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

²¹ Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!
