135 1 Praise Yahweh.
Praise the name of Yahweh,
give praise, O servants of Yahweh,
135 2 you that stand in the house of Yahweh,
in the courts of the house of our God!
135 3 Praise Yahweh, for Yahweh is good;
sing to his name, for he is gracious!
135 4 For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his own possession.
135 5 For I know that Yahweh is great,
and that our Yahweh is above all gods.
135 6 Whatever Yahweh pleases he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.
135 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.
135 8 He it was who smote the first-born of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;
135 9 who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
135 10 who smote many nations
and slew mighty kings,
135 11 Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
135 12 and gave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.
135 13 Your name, O Yahweh, endures for ever,
your renown, O Yahweh, throughout all ages.
135 14 For Yahweh will vindicate his people,
and have compassion on his servants.
135 15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of men's hands.
135 16 They have mouths, but they speak not,
they have eyes, but they see not,
135 17 they have ears, but they hear not,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
135 18 Like them be those who make them! -
yea, every one who trusts in them!
135 19 O house of Israel, bless Yahweh!
O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh!
135 20 O house of Levi, bless Yahweh!
You that fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh!
135 21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
he who dwells in Jerusalem!
Praise Yahweh!
