PSALM 135
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord, the Lord's name praise;
his servants, praise ye God.
2Who stand in God's house, in the courts
of our God make abode.
3Praise ye the Lord, for he is good;
unto him praises sing:
Sing praises to his name, because
it is a pleasant thing.
4For Jacob to himself the Lord
did chuse of his good pleasure,
And he hath chosen Israel
for his peculiar treasure.
5Because I know assuredly
the Lord is very great,
And that our Lord above all gods
in glory hath his seat.
6What things soever pleas'd the Lord,
that in the heav'n did he,
And in the earth, the seas,
and all the places deep that be.
7He from the ends of earth doth make
the vapours to ascend;
With rain he lightnings makes, and wind
doth from his treasures send.
8Egypt's first-born, from man to beast
9who smote. Strange tokens he
On Phar'oh and his servants sent,
Egypt, in midst of thee.
10He smote great nations, slew great kings:
11Sihon of Heshbon king,
And Og of Bashan, and to nought
did Canaan's kingdoms bring:
12And for a wealthy heritage
their pleasant land he gave,
An heritage which Israel,
his chosen folk, should have.
13Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure,
and thy memorial
With honour shall continu'd be
to generations all.
14For why? the righteous God will judge
his people righteously;
Concerning those that do him serve,
himself repent will he.
15The idols of the nations
of silver are and gold,
And by the hands of men is made
their fashion and mould.
16Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
eyes, but they do not see;
17Ears have they, but hear not; and in
their mouths no breathing be.
18Their makers are like them; so are
all that on them rely.
19O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God,
O Aaron's family.
20O bless the Lord, of Levi's house
ye who his servants are;
And bless the holy name of God,
all ye the Lord that fear.
21And blessed be the Lord our God
from Sion's holy hill,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
The Lord O praise ye still.

135
Praise to God for His Power and Redemption
1Praise Yah!#Hebrew hallelujah Praise the name of Yahweh.
Praise him, O servants of Yahweh,
2who stand in the house#Or “temple” of Yahweh,
in the courts of the house#Or “temple” of our God.
3Praise Yah,#A shortened form of “Yahweh” for Yahweh is good.
Sing praises concerning his name, for it is pleasant.
4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his special possession.
5For I know that Yahweh is great,
and our Lord is greater than all gods.
6All that Yahweh desires, he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the depths.
7He causes clouds to rise from the edge of the earth;
he makes lightnings for the rain;
he brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
both of humans#Hebrew “human” and animals.#Hebrew “animal”
9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10Who struck many nations
and killed mighty kings—
11Sihon the king of the Amorites,
and Og the king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance for his people Israel.
13O Yahweh, your name endures forever,
your renown#Literally “remembrance” throughout all generations,#Literally “for a generation and a generation”
14for Yahweh will plead the cause of his people
and will have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of the hands of humankind.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak;
they have eyes, but cannot see;
17they have ears, but cannot hear;
there is not even breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them become like them,
as does everyone who trusts in them.
19O house of Israel, bless Yahweh.
O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh.
20O house of Levi, bless Yahweh.
You who fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh.
21Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!#Hebrew hallelujah
