| Chapter 135 |
1 | 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! |
