Psalms 135

halelu-yah halelu et-shem Adonai halelu avde Adonai

Hallelujah. Praise the name of GOD; give praise, you servants of GOD

she'omedim bevet Adonai bekhatsrot bet elohenu

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

halelu-yah ki-tov Adonai zammeru lishmo ki na'im

Praise Yah, for GOD is good; sing hymns to this name, for it is pleasant.

ki-ya'aqov bakhar lo yah yisra'el lisgullato

For Yah has chosen to keep Jacob close, [treating] Israel as a treasured possession.

ki ani yadati ki-gadol Adonai va'adonenu mikkol-elohim

For I know that GOD is great, that our Sovereign is greater than all gods.

kol asher-khafets Adonai asah bashamayim uva'arets bayyammim vekhol-tehomot

Whatever GOD desires is done in heaven and earth, in the seas and all the depths.

ma'aleh nesi'im miqtseh ha'arets beraqim lammatar asah motse-ruakh me'otserotayw

This is who makes clouds rise from the end of the earth; who makes lightning for the rain; who releases the wind from divine vaults.

shehikkah bekhore mitsrayim me'adam ad-behemah

[God] struck down the first-born of Egypt, human and animal alike—

shalakh otot umofetim betokhekhi mitsrayim befaroh uvekhol-avadayw

sending signs and portents against Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants,

shehikkah goyim rabbim veharag melakhim atsumim

striking down many nations and slaying numerous kings—

lesikhon melekh ha'emori ule'og melekh habbashan ulekhol mamlekhot kena'an

Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the royalty of Canaan—

venatan artsam nakhalah nakhalah leyisra'el ammo

and giving their lands as a heritage, as a heritage to Israel—God’s people.

Adonai shimkha le'olam Adonai zikhrekha ledor-vador

O ETERNAL One, Your name endures forever, Your fame, O ETERNAL One, through all generations;

ki-yadin Adonai ammo ve'al-avadayw yitnekham

for GOD will champion this people, and obtain satisfaction for their service.

atsabbe haggoyim kesef vezahav ma'aseh yede adam

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

peh-lahem velo yedabberu enayim lahem velo yiru

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

oznayim lahem velo ya'azinu af en-yesh-ruakh befihem

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

kemohem yihyu osehem kol asher-boteakh bahem

Those who fashion them, all who trust in them, shall become like them.

bet yisra'el barekhu et-Adonai bet aharon barekhu et-Adonai

O house of Israel, bless GOD; O house of Aaron, bless GOD;

bet hallevi barekhu et-Adonai yire Adonai barekhu et-Adonai

O house of Levi, bless GOD; you who fear GOD, bless GOD.

barukh Adonai mitsiyyon shokhen yerushalai͏m halelu-yah

Blessed is GOD from Zion, the One who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
