135 Psalms

1 Praise Yahweh.
Praise the name of Yahweh,
give praise, O servants of Yahweh,

Praise the Lord!. Psalm 135(v134)
2 you that stand in the house of Yahweh,
in the courts of the house of our God!

 
3 Praise Yahweh, for Yahweh is good;
sing to his name, for he is gracious!

 
4 For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his own possession.

 
5 For I know that Yahweh is great,
and that our Yahweh is above all gods.

 
6 Whatever Yahweh pleases he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.

 
7 He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

 
8 He it was who smote the first-born of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;

 
9 who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;

 
10 who smote many 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 as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.

 
13 Your name, O Yahweh, endures for ever,
your renown, O Yahweh, throughout all ages.

 
14 For Yahweh will vindicate 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 speak not,
they have eyes, but they see not,

 
17 they have ears, but they hear not,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.

 
18 Like them be those who make them! -
yea, every one who trusts in them!

 
19 O house of Israel, bless Yahweh!
O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh!

 
20 O house of Levi, bless Yahweh!
You that fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh!

 
21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
he who dwells in Jerusalem!
Praise Yahweh!

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi New Standard Bible is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background. Any mismatches, truncated verses, other mistakes ?
