Tehillim (Psalms) 135
135
1Praise Yah! Praise the Name of יהוה; Praise, you servants of יהוה,
2Who are standing in the House of יהוה, In the courts of the House of our Elohim,
3Praise Yah, for יהוה is good; Sing praises to His Name, for it is pleasant.
4For Yah has chosen Ya‛aqoḇ for Himself, Yisra’ĕl for His treasured possession.
5For I know that יהוה is great, And our Master is above all mighty ones.
6יהוה has done whatever pleased Him, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and in all the depths,
7Causing vapours to go up From the ends of the earth; He made lightning for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasuries;
8Who struck the first-born of Mitsrayim, From man to beast.
9He sent signs and wonders Into your midst, O Mitsrayim, On Pharaoh and on all his servants;
10Who struck many nations, And killed mighty sovereigns,
11Even Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, And Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, And all the reigns of Kena‛an.
12And He gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to Yisra’ĕl His people.
13O יהוה, Your Name is forever, O יהוה, Your remembrance to all generations,
14For יהוה rightly rules His people, And has compassion on His servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
16They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;
17They have ears, but they do not hear; Also there is no breath in their mouth.
18Those making them become like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19Bless יהוה, O house of Yisra’ĕl! Bless יהוה, O house of Aharon!
20Bless יהוה, O house of Lĕwi! You who fear יהוה, bless יהוה!
21Blessed from Tsiyon, יהוה be, Who dwells in Yerushalayim! Praise Yah.

Psalms 135
135
A Hymn of Praise
1Praise the LORD!
Praise his name, you servants of the LORD,
2who stand in the LORD's house,
in the Temple of our God.
3Praise the LORD, because he is good;
sing praises to his name, because he is kind.#135.3 he is kind; or it is pleasant to do so.
4He chose Jacob for himself,
the people of Israel for his own.
5I know that our LORD is great,
greater than all the gods.
6He does whatever he wishes
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and in the depths below.
7He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth;
he makes lightning for the storms,
and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.
8In Egypt he killed all the firstborn
of people and animals alike.
9There he performed miracles and wonders
to punish the king and all his officials.
10He destroyed many nations
and killed powerful kings:
11Sihon, king of the Amorites,
Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kings in Canaan.
12He gave their lands to his people;
he gave them to Israel.
13 LORD, you will always be proclaimed as God;
all generations will remember you.
14The LORD will defend his people;
he will take pity on his servants.

Ps 115.4–8; Rev 9.20 The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold;
they are formed by human hands.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak,
and eyes, but cannot see.
17They have ears, but cannot hear;
they are not even able to breathe.
18May all who made them and who trust in them
become#135.18 May all… become; or All who made them and who trust in them will become. like the idols they have made!
19Praise the LORD, people of Israel;
praise him, you priests of God!
20Praise the LORD, you Levites;
praise him, all you that worship him!
21Praise the LORD in Zion,
in Jerusalem, his home.
Praise the LORD!
