| Chapter 135 |
1 |
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, --
|
2 |
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God. --
|
3 |
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. --
|
4 |
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession. --
|
5 |
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods. --
|
6 |
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps; --
|
7 |
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries: --
|
8 |
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; --
|
9 |
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants; --
|
10 |
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings, --
|
11 |
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; --
|
12 |
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people. --
|
13 |
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation. --
|
14 |
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants. --
|
15 |
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: --
|
16 |
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; --
|
17 |
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth. --
|
18 |
They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them. --
|
19 |
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah; --
|
20 |
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah. --
|
21 |
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah! --
