Psalm 135:1-13

Complete Jewish Bible

135 Halleluyah!

⁽¹⁾ Give praise to the name of Adonai!
Servants of Adonai, give praise!
² You who stand in the house of Adonai,
in the courtyards of the house of our God,
³ praise Yah, for Adonai is good;
sing to his name, because it is pleasant.

⁴ For Yah chose Ya‘akov for himself,
Isra’el as his own unique treasure.
⁵ I know that Adonai is great,
that our Lord is above all gods.
⁶ Adonai does whatever pleases him,
in heaven, on earth, in the seas, in all the depths.
⁷ He raises clouds from the ends of the earth,
he makes the lightning flash in the rain
and brings the wind out from his storehouses.

⁸ He struck down Egypt’s firstborn,
humans and animals alike.
⁹ He sent signs and wonders among you, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his subjects.
¹⁰ He struck many nations,
and slaughtered mighty kings —
¹¹ Sichon king of the Emori,
‘Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Kena‘an.
¹² Then he gave their land as a heritage,
to be possessed by Isra’el his people.

¹³ Adonai, your name continues forever,
your renown, Adonai, through all generations.
