Psalm 135

World English Bible

135 Praise Yah!
    Praise Yahweh’s name!
    Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
² you who stand in Yahweh’s house,
    in the courts of our God’s house.
³ Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good.
    Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
⁴ For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself,
    Israel for his own possession.
⁵ For I know that Yahweh is great,
    that our Lord is above all gods.
⁶ Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,
    in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
⁷ He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
    He makes lightnings with the rain.
    He brings the wind out of his treasuries.
⁸ He struck the firstborn of Egypt,
    both of man and animal.
⁹ He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt,
    on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
¹⁰ He struck many nations,
    and killed mighty kings,
¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites,
    Og king of Bashan,
    and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
¹² and gave their land for a heritage,
    a heritage to Israel, his people.
¹³ Your name, Yahweh, endures forever;
    your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
¹⁴ For Yahweh will judge his people
    and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
    the work of men’s hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
    They have eyes, but they can’t see.
¹⁷ They have ears, but they can’t hear,
    neither is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
    yes, everyone who trusts in them.
¹⁹ House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
    House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
²⁰ House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
    You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
²¹ Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
    who dwells at Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!
