Psalmen 135

1Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

2You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

4For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

5For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

6Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

7He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

8He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

9He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

10He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

11Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

12And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

13Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

14For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

15The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

16They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

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

18Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

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

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

21Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

1Alleluja. [Laudate nomen Domini; laudate, servi, Dominum:

2qui statis in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri.

3Laudate Dominum, quia bonus Dominus; psallite nomini ejus, quoniam suave.

4Quoniam Jacob elegit sibi Dominus; Israël in possessionem sibi.

5Quia ego cognovi quod magnus est Dominus, et Deus noster præ omnibus diis.

6Omnia quæcumque voluit Dominus fecit, in cælo, in terra, in mari et in omnibus abyssis.

7Educens nubes ab extremo terræ, fulgura in pluviam fecit; qui producit ventos de thesauris suis.

8Qui percussit primogenita Ægypti, ab homine usque ad pecus.

9Et misit signa et prodigia in medio tui, Ægypte: in Pharaonem, et in omnes servos ejus.

10Qui percussit gentes multas, et occidit reges fortes:

11Sehon, regem Amorrhæorum, et Og, regem Basan, et omnia regna Chanaan:

12et dedit terram eorum hæreditatem, hæreditatem Israël populo suo.

13Domine, nomen tuum in æternum; Domine, memoriale tuum in generationem et generationem.

14Quia judicabit Dominus populum suum, et in servis suis deprecabitur.

15Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.

16Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.

17Aures habent, et non audient; neque enim est spiritus in ore ipsorum.

18Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.

19Domus Israël, benedicite Domino; domus Aaron, benedicite Domino.

20Domus Levi, benedicite Domino; qui timetis Dominum, benedicite Domino.

21Benedictus Dominus ex Sion, qui habitat in Jerusalem.]

1Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise the Lord.

2You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:

3praise the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing psalms to his name, for it is sweet.

4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

5For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is before all gods.

6All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.

7He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.

8He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.

9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.

10He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:

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

12And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.

13Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.

14For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants.

15The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

16They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.

17They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.

19Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

20Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.
