Chapter 135

  Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,  

-

  Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.  

-

  Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.  

-

  For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.  

-

  For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.  

-

  Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;  

-

  Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:  

-

  Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;  

-

  Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;  

-

  Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,  

-

  Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;  

-

  And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.  

-

  Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.  

-

  For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.  

-

  The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:  

-

  They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;  

-

  They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.  

-

  They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them.  

-

  House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;  

-

  House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.  

-

  Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
