Psalms 135
135
His Wonderful Works
A song of the stairway
1Shout hallelujah and praise the greatness of God!
All his righteous ones, praise him!
2All you worshiping priests on duty in the temple,
3praise him, for he is beautiful!
Sing loving praises to his lovely name.
4For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for his own purpose,
and Israel is his special treasure.
5Next to every other god, the greatness of our God is unequaled.
For our God is incomparable!
6He does what he pleases with unlimited power and authority,
extending his greatness throughout the entire universe!
7He forms the misty clouds and creates thunder and lightning,
bringing the wind and rain out of his heavenly storehouse.
8He struck down the eldest child in each Egyptian home;
both man and beast perished that night.
9He did great miracles—mighty signs and wonders throughout the land
before Pharaoh and all his subjects.
10He conquered many nations and killed their mighty kings,
11like Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan,
and kings from every kingdom in Canaan.
12He gave their land to Israel as an inheritance for his people.
13O Yahweh, your name endures forever!
Your fame is known in every generation.
14For you will vindicate your persecuted people,
showing your tender love to all your servants.
15The unbelieving nations worship what they make.
They worship their wealth and their work.
They idolize what they own and what they do.
16-18Their possessions will never satisfy.
Their lifeless and futile works cannot bring life to them!
Their things can’t talk to them or answer their prayers.
Blind men can only create blind things.
Those deaf to God can only make a deaf image. # 135:16–18 Referring to the idols, the Hebrew could be translated “with mouths, but they cannot speak; with eyes, but they cannot see; with ears, but they cannot hear.”
Dead men can only create dead idols.
And everyone who trusts in these powerless, dead things
will be just like what they worship—powerless and dead!
19Praise Lord Yahweh, all the families of Israel!
Praise Lord Yahweh, you family of Aaron! # 135:19 The name Aaron means “light-bringer” or “light-bearer.”
20Let all the priests # 135:20 Or “all the family of Levi.” Levi represents the holy priesthood. bless Lord Yahweh!
Let all his lovers who bow low before him # 135:20 Or “those who fear him.”
praise the Lord Yahweh!
21So bless the Lord Yahweh who lives in Jerusalem
and dwells in Zion’s glory!
Hallelujah and praise the Lord!

1Praise you2f the Lord-Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). Praise you2f the name of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate]; praise [him], O you2f servants of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
2You2f that stand in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], in the courts of the house of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered],
3Praise the Lord- Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.
4For the Lord- Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has chosen Ya’akov [Heel of God] unto himself, [and] Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God] for his peculiar (particular; special; one’s own) treasure.
5For I know that the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] great, and [that] our Lord-Adon [Lord of the Earth] [is] above all gods.
6Whatsoever the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7He causes the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries.
8Who smote the firstborn of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], both of man and beast.
9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of youi, O Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], upon Par’oh [Pharaoh - Great House], and upon all his servants.
10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11Sichon [Warrior] king of the Emori [Highlanders], and ‘Og [Long-necked] king of Bashan [Fruitful], and all the kingdoms of Kena’an [Merchant]:
12And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God] his people.
13Your2s name, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], [endures] forever; [and] youri memorial, O Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], throughout all generations.
14For the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths.
18They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that trusts in them.
19Bless the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], O house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel of God]: bless the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], O house of Aharon [Bright, Very High]:
20Bless the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], O house of Levi [Adhesion, Joiner]: you2f that fear the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], bless the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate].
21Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) be the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] out of Tziyon [Parched Place], which dwells at Yerushalayim [Foundation Of Peace]. Praise you2f the Lord- Yah [Behold The Hand] (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
