| 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! --
