| Chapter 135 |
1 | Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
|
2 | You who stand in the house of Yahweh, 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 | Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings with the rain; Who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
|
8 | Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and animal;
|
9 | Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, On Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
|
10 | Who struck many nations, And killed mighty kings,
|
11 | Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, 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! Psalm 136
