Psalms 135

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַֽ֭לְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֑ה הַֽ֝לְלוּ עַבְדֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

שֶׁ֣֭עֹֽמְדִים בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה בְּ֝חַצְר֗וֹת בֵּ֣ית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

הַֽ֭לְלוּ־יָהּ כִּי־ט֣וֹב יְהוָ֑ה זַמְּר֥וּ לִ֝שְׁמ֗וֹ כִּ֣י נָעִֽים׃

Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹ֗ב בָּחַ֣ר ל֣וֹ יָ֑הּ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃

For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

כִּ֤י אֲנִ֣י יָ֭דַעְתִּי כִּי־גָד֣וֹל יְהוָ֑ה וַ֝אֲדֹנֵ֗ינוּ מִכָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

כֹּ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־חָפֵ֥ץ יְהוָ֗ה עָ֫שָׂ֥ה בַּשָּׁמַ֥יִם וּבָאָ֑רֶץ בַּ֝יַּמִּ֗ים וְכָל־תְּהוֹמֽוֹת׃

The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

מַֽעֲלֶ֣ה נְשִׂאִים֮ מִקְצֵ֪ה הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ בְּרָקִ֣ים לַמָּטָ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה מֽוֹצֵא־ר֝וּחַ מֵאֽוֹצְרוֹתָֽיו׃

He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

שֶֽׁ֭הִכָּה בְּכוֹרֵ֣י מִצְרָ֑יִם מֵ֝אָדָ֗ם עַד־בְּהֵמָֽה׃

He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.

Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

שָׁלַ֤ח ׀ אֹת֣וֹת וּ֭מֹפְתִים בְּתוֹכֵ֣כִי מִצְרָ֑יִם בְּ֝פַרְעֹ֗ה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָֽיו׃

He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

שֶֽׁ֭הִכָּה גּוֹיִ֣ם רַבִּ֑ים וְ֝הָרַ֗ג מְלָכִ֥ים עֲצוּמִֽים׃

He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

לְסִיח֤וֹן ׀ מֶ֤לֶךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֗י וּ֭לְעוֹג מֶ֣לֶךְ הַבָּשָׁ֑ן וּ֝לְכֹ֗ל מַמְלְכ֥וֹת כְּנָֽעַן׃

Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

וְנָתַ֣ן אַרְצָ֣ם נַחֲלָ֑ה נַ֝חֲלָ֗ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֥ל עַמּֽוֹ׃

He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

יְ֭הוָה שִׁמְךָ֣ לְעוֹלָ֑ם יְ֝הוָ֗ה זִכְרְךָ֥ לְדֹר־וָדֹֽר׃

Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

כִּֽי־יָדִ֣ין יְהוָ֣ה עַמּ֑וֹ וְעַל־עֲ֝בָדָ֗יו יִתְנֶחָֽם׃

For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

עֲצַבֵּ֣י הַ֭גּוֹיִם כֶּ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב מַ֝עֲשֵׂ֗ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָֽם׃

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

פֶּֽה־לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יְדַבֵּ֑רוּ עֵינַ֥יִם לָ֝הֶ֗ם וְלֹ֣א יִרְאֽוּ׃

They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

אָזְנַ֣יִם לָ֭הֶם וְלֹ֣א יַאֲזִ֑ינוּ אַ֝֗ף אֵין־יֶשׁ־ר֥וּחַ בְּפִיהֶֽם׃

they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

כְּ֭מוֹהֶם יִהְי֣וּ עֹשֵׂיהֶ֑ם כֹּ֭ל אֲשֶׁר־בֹּטֵ֣חַ בָּהֶֽם׃

Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

Blessed be the LORD from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
