PSALM 135
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord, the Lord's name praise;
his servants, praise ye God.
2Who stand in God's house, in the courts
of our God make abode.
3Praise ye the Lord, for he is good;
unto him praises sing:
Sing praises to his name, because
it is a pleasant thing.
4For Jacob to himself the Lord
did chuse of his good pleasure,
And he hath chosen Israel
for his peculiar treasure.
5Because I know assuredly
the Lord is very great,
And that our Lord above all gods
in glory hath his seat.
6What things soever pleas'd the Lord,
that in the heav'n did he,
And in the earth, the seas,
and all the places deep that be.
7He from the ends of earth doth make
the vapours to ascend;
With rain he lightnings makes, and wind
doth from his treasures send.
8Egypt's first-born, from man to beast
9who smote. Strange tokens he
On Phar'oh and his servants sent,
Egypt, in midst of thee.
10He smote great nations, slew great kings:
11Sihon of Heshbon king,
And Og of Bashan, and to nought
did Canaan's kingdoms bring:
12And for a wealthy heritage
their pleasant land he gave,
An heritage which Israel,
his chosen folk, should have.
13Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure,
and thy memorial
With honour shall continu'd be
to generations all.
14For why? the righteous God will judge
his people righteously;
Concerning those that do him serve,
himself repent will he.
15The idols of the nations
of silver are and gold,
And by the hands of men is made
their fashion and mould.
16Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
eyes, but they do not see;
17Ears have they, but hear not; and in
their mouths no breathing be.
18Their makers are like them; so are
all that on them rely.
19O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God,
O Aaron's family.
20O bless the Lord, of Levi's house
ye who his servants are;
And bless the holy name of God,
all ye the Lord that fear.
21And blessed be the Lord our God
from Sion's holy hill,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
The Lord O praise ye still.

Tehillim (Psa) 135
135
1Halleluyah!
Give praise to the name of Adonai!
Servants of Adonai, give praise!
2You who stand in the house of Adonai,
in the courtyards of the house of our God,
3praise Yah, for Adonai is good;
sing to his name, because it is pleasant.
4For Yah chose Ya‘akov for himself,
Isra’el as his own unique treasure.
5I know that Adonai is great,
that our Lord is above all gods.
6Adonai does whatever pleases him,
in heaven, on earth, in the seas, in all the depths.
7He raises clouds from the ends of the earth,
he makes the lightning flash in the rain
and brings the wind out from his storehouses.
8He struck down Egypt’s firstborn,
humans and animals alike.
9He sent signs and wonders among you, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his subjects.
10He struck many nations,
and slaughtered mighty kings —
11Sichon king of the Emori,
‘Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Kena‘an.
12Then he gave their land as a heritage,
to be possessed by Isra’el his people.
13Adonai, your name continues forever,
your renown, Adonai, through all generations.
14For Adonai will vindicate his people,
he will take pity on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are mere silver and gold,
made by human hands.
16They have mouths, but they can’t speak;
they have eyes, but they can’t see;
17they have ears, but they can’t listen;
and they have no breath in their mouths;
18The people who make them will become like them,
along with everyone who trusts in them.
19House of Isra’el, bless Adonai!
House of Aharon, bless Adonai!
20House of Levi, bless Adonai!
You who fear Adonai, bless Adonai!
21Blessed be Adonai out of Tziyon,
he who dwells in Yerushalayim!
Halleluyah!
