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!

Tehillim 135
135
1Praise Hashem. Halelu Shem Hashem; Halelu, O ye avadim of Hashem.
2Ye that stand ministering in the Beis Hashem, in the khatzerot Beis Eloheinu.
3Praise Hashem; for Hashem is tov; sing praise unto Shmo; for it is na'im (lovely, pleasing).
4For Hashem hath chosen Ya'akov unto Himself, and Yisroel for His segullah (peculiar treasure).
5For I know that Hashem is gadol, and that Adoneinu is above kol elohim.
6Whatsoever Hashem pleases, that He does in Shomayim, and in HaAretz, in HaYam, and kol tehomot.
7He causeth the clouds to ascend at the end of HaAretz; He maketh lightning for the matar (rain); He bringeth the ruach out of His otzarot.
8Who struck down the Bechorei Mitzrayim, both of adam and behemah.
9Who sent otot and mofetim into the midst of thee, O Mitzrayim, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his avadim.
10Who struck down Goyim rabbim, and slaughtered melachim atzumim (powerful kings);
11Sichon Melech HaEmori, and Og Melech HaBashan, and all the mamlechot Kena'an;
12And gave their land for a nachalah, an inheritance unto Yisroel Amo (His people).
13Thy Shem, Hashem, endureth l'olam; and Thy remembrance, Hashem, l'dor vador.
14For Hashem will vindicate His people; He will have compassion on His avadim.
15The idols of the Goyim are kesef and zahav, the ma'aseh yedei adam.
16They have mouths, but they speak not; einayim have they, but they see not;
17They have oznayim, but they hear not; neither is there any ruach in their mouths.
18They that oseihem (make them) will be like them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
19Barakhu Hashem, O Bais Yisroel; barakhu Hashem, O Bais Aharon;
20Barakhu Hashem, O Bais HaLevi; ye that fear Hashem, barakhu Hashem.
21Baruch Hashem out of Tziyon, which dwelleth at Yerushalayim. Praise Hashem.
