Psalmen 135

1. ¹Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2. ²You who stand in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God's house.
3. ³Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4. ⁴For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.
5. ⁵For I know that Yahweh is great, That our Lord is above all gods.
6. ⁶Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7. ⁷Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings with the rain; Who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8. ⁸Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and animal;
9. ⁹Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, On Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
10. ¹⁰Who struck many nations, And killed mighty kings,
11. ¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12. ¹²And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage to Israel, his people.
13. ¹³Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; Your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
14. ¹⁴For Yahweh will judge his people, And have compassion on his servants.
15. ¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
16. ¹⁶They have mouths, but they can't speak; They have eyes, but they can't see;
17. ¹⁷They have ears, but they can't hear; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18. ¹⁸Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19. ¹⁹House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20. ²⁰House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
21. ²¹Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
