135 Praise Yah!^[a] Praise the name of Yahweh.
Praise him, O servants of Yahweh,
² who stand in the house^[b] of Yahweh,
in the courts of the house^[c] of our God.
³ Praise Yah,^[d] for Yahweh is good.
Sing praises concerning his name, for it is pleasant.
⁴ For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his special possession.
⁵ For I know that Yahweh is great,
and our Lord is greater than all gods.
⁶ All that Yahweh desires, he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the depths.
⁷ He causes clouds to rise from the edge of the earth;
he makes lightnings for the rain;
he brings out the wind from his storehouses.
⁸ Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,
both of humans^[e] and animals.^[f]
9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
¹⁰ Who struck many nations
and killed mighty kings—
¹¹ Sihon the king of the Amorites,
and Og the king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
¹² and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance for his people Israel.
¹³ O Yahweh, your name endures forever,
your renown^[g] throughout all generations,^[h]
14 for Yahweh will plead the cause of his people
and will have compassion on his servants.
¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of the hands of humankind.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but cannot speak;
they have eyes, but cannot see;
¹⁷ they have ears, but cannot hear;
there is not even breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them become like them,
as does everyone who trusts in them.
¹⁹ O house of Israel, bless Yahweh.
O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh.
²⁰ O house of Levi, bless Yahweh.
You who fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh.
²¹ Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!^[i]
