| Chapter 135 |
1 | Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
|
2 | Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
|
3 | Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
|
4 | For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
|
5 | For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
|
6 | All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
|
7 | Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
|
8 | Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
|
9 | He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
|
10 | Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
|
11 | Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
|
12 | And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
|
13 | O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
|
14 | For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
|
15 | The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
|
16 | A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
|
17 | Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is no breath in their mouth!
|
18 | Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
|
19 | O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
|
20 | O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
|
21 | Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem -- praise ye Jah!
