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 Yah! Praise the Name of יהוה; Praise, you servants of יהוה,
2Who are standing in the House of יהוה, In the courts of the House of our Elohim,
3Praise Yah, for יהוה is good; Sing praises to His Name, for it is pleasant.
4For Yah has chosen Ya‛aqoḇ for Himself, Yisra’ĕl for His treasured possession.
5For I know that יהוה is great, And our Master is above all mighty ones.
6יהוה has done whatever pleased Him, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and in all the depths,
7Causing vapours to go up From the ends of the earth; He made lightning for the rain, Bringing forth wind from His treasuries;
8Who struck the first-born of Mitsrayim, From man to beast.
9He sent signs and wonders Into your midst, O Mitsrayim, On Pharaoh and on all his servants;
10Who struck many nations, And killed mighty sovereigns,
11Even Siḥon sovereign of the Amorites, And Oḡ sovereign of Bashan, And all the reigns of Kena‛an.
12And He gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to Yisra’ĕl His people.
13O יהוה, Your Name is forever, O יהוה, Your remembrance to all generations,
14For יהוה rightly rules His people, And has compassion on His servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
16They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;
17They have ears, but they do not hear; Also there is no breath in their mouth.
18Those making them become like them, Everyone who is trusting in them.
19Bless יהוה, O house of Yisra’ĕl! Bless יהוה, O house of Aharon!
20Bless יהוה, O house of Lĕwi! You who fear יהוה, bless יהוה!
21Blessed from Tsiyon, יהוה be, Who dwells in Yerushalayim! Praise Yah.
