- 135:1 Praise Yah!
- Praise the name of Yahweh!
- Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
- 135:2 you who stand in the house of Yahweh,
- in the courts of our God's house.
- 135:3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good.
- Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
- 135:4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself;
- Israel for his own possession.
- 135:5 For I know that Yahweh is great,
- that our Lord is above all gods.
- 135:6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,
- in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
- 135:7 who 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;
- 135:8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
- both of man and animal;
- 135:9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt,
- on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
- 135:10 who struck many nations,
- and killed mighty kings,
- 135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
- Og king of Bashan,
- and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
- 135:12 and gave their land for a heritage,
- a heritage to Israel, his people.
- 135:13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever;
- your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
- 135:14 For Yahweh will judge his people,
- and have compassion on his servants.
- 135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
- the work of men's hands.
- 135:16 They have mouths, but they can't speak.
- They have eyes, but they can't see.
- 135:17 They have ears, but they can't hear;
- neither is there any breath in their mouths.
- 135:18 Those who make them will be like them;
- yes, everyone who trusts in them.
- 135:19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
- House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
- 135:20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
- You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
- 135:21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
- Who dwells at Jerusalem.
- Praise Yah!
