135 ¡Alabado sea el Señor!

¡Alaben el nombre del Señor!
    Alábenlo, ustedes, los que sirven al Señor,
los que sirven en la casa del Señor,
    en los atrios de la casa de nuestro Dios.

Alaben al Señor, porque el Señor es bueno;
    celebren con música su precioso nombre.
Pues el Señor escogió a Jacob para sí,
    a Israel, como su tesoro especial.

Yo conozco la grandeza del Señor:
    nuestro Señor es más grande que cualquier otro dios.
El Señor hace lo que le place
    por todo el cielo y toda la tierra,
    y en los océanos y sus profundidades.
Hace que las nubes se eleven sobre toda la tierra.
    Envía relámpagos junto con la lluvia
    y suelta el viento desde sus depósitos.

Destruyó al primer hijo varón de cada hogar egipcio
    y a las primeras crías de los animales.
Realizó señales milagrosas y maravillas en Egipto
    en contra del faraón y todo su pueblo.
10 Hirió de muerte a grandes naciones
    y masacró a reyes poderosos:
11 a Sehón, rey de los amorreos;
    a Og, rey de Basán,
    y a todos los reyes de Canaán.
12 Entregó sus tierras como herencia,
    como preciada posesión a su pueblo Israel.

13 Tu nombre, oh Señor, permanece para siempre;
    tu fama, oh Señor, se conoce en cada generación.
14 Pues el Señor hará justicia a su pueblo
    y tendrá compasión de sus siervos.

15 Los ídolos de las naciones no son más que objetos de plata y oro;
    manos humanas les dieron forma.
16 Tienen boca pero no pueden hablar,
    tienen ojos pero no pueden ver.
17 Tienen oídos pero no pueden oír,
    tienen boca pero no pueden respirar.
18 Y los que hacen ídolos son iguales a ellos,
    como también todos los que confían en ellos.

19 ¡Oh Israel, alaba al Señor!
    ¡Oh sacerdotes—descendientes de Aarón—, alaben al Señor!
20 ¡Oh levitas, alaben al Señor!
    ¡Todos los que temen al Señor, alaben al Señor!
21 El Señor sea alabado desde Sion,
    porque él vive aquí en Jerusalén.

¡Alabado sea el Señor!

Psalm 135(A)

Praise the Lord.[a]

Praise the name of the Lord;
    praise him, you servants(B) of the Lord,
you who minister in the house(C) of the Lord,
    in the courts(D) of the house of our God.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;(E)
    sing praise to his name,(F) for that is pleasant.(G)
For the Lord has chosen Jacob(H) to be his own,
    Israel to be his treasured possession.(I)

I know that the Lord is great,(J)
    that our Lord is greater than all gods.(K)
The Lord does whatever pleases him,(L)
    in the heavens and on the earth,(M)
    in the seas and all their depths.
He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
    he sends lightning with the rain(N)
    and brings out the wind(O) from his storehouses.(P)

He struck down the firstborn(Q) of Egypt,
    the firstborn of people and animals.
He sent his signs(R) and wonders into your midst, Egypt,
    against Pharaoh and all his servants.(S)
10 He struck down many(T) nations
    and killed mighty kings—
11 Sihon(U) king of the Amorites,(V)
    Og king of Bashan,(W)
    and all the kings of Canaan(X)
12 and he gave their land as an inheritance,(Y)
    an inheritance to his people Israel.

13 Your name, Lord, endures forever,(Z)
    your renown,(AA) Lord, through all generations.
14 For the Lord will vindicate his people(AB)
    and have compassion on his servants.(AC)

15 The idols of the nations(AD) are silver and gold,
    made by human hands.(AE)
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak,(AF)
    eyes, but cannot see.
17 They have ears, but cannot hear,
    nor is there breath(AG) in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

19 All you Israelites, praise the Lord;(AH)
    house of Aaron, praise the Lord;
20 house of Levi, praise the Lord;
    you who fear him, praise the Lord.
21 Praise be to the Lord from Zion,(AI)
    to him who dwells in Jerusalem.(AJ)

Praise the Lord.

  1. Psalm 135:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verses 3 and 21

135 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.

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

Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

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

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

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

Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

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

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

13 Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
