Psalms 135 — TOJB

135Verse 1Praise Hashem.
1 Halelu Shem Hashem;
Halelu, O ye avadim of Hashem.
^{Verse 2}Ye that stand ministering in the Beis Hashem,
in the khatzerot Beis Eloheinu.
^{Verse 3}Praise Hashem;
for Hashem is tov; sing praise unto Shmo; for it is na'im (lovely, pleasing).
^{Verse 4}For Hashem hath chosen Ya'akov unto Himself,
and Yisroel for His segullah (peculiar treasure).^{Verse 5}For I know that Hashem is gadol,
and that Adoneinu is above kol elohim.
^{Verse 6}Whatsoever Hashem pleases, that He does
in Shomayim, and in HaAretz,
in HaYam, and kol tehomot.
^{Verse 7}He causeth the clouds to ascend at the end of HaAretz;
He maketh lightning for the matar (rain);
He bringeth the ruach out of His otzarot.^{Verse 8}Who struck down the Bechorei Mitzrayim,
both of adam and behemah.
^{Verse 9}Who sent otot and mofetim into the midst of thee, O Mitzrayim,
upon Pharaoh, and upon all his avadim.
^{Verse 10}Who struck down Goyim rabbim,
and slaughtered melachim atzumim (powerful kings);
^{Verse 11}Sichon Melech HaEmori,
and Og Melech HaBashan,
and all the mamlechot Kena'an;
^{Verse 12}And gave their land for a nachalah,
an inheritance unto Yisroel Amo (His people).^{Verse 13}Thy Shem, Hashem, endureth l'olam;
and Thy remembrance, Hashem, l'dor vador.
^{Verse 14}For Hashem will vindicate His people;
He will have compassion on His avadim.^{Verse 15}The idols of the Goyim are kesef and zahav,
the ma'aseh yedei adam.
^{Verse 16}They have mouths, but they speak not;
einayim have they, but they see not;
^{Verse 17}They have oznayim, but they hear not;
neither is there any ruach in their mouths.
^{Verse 18}They that oseihem (make them) will be like them;
so is every one that trusteth in them.^{Verse 19}Barakhu Hashem, O Bais Yisroel;
barakhu Hashem, O Bais Aharon;
^{Verse 20}Barakhu Hashem, O Bais HaLevi;
ye that fear Hashem, barakhu Hashem.
^{Verse 21}Baruch Hashem out of Tziyon,
which dwelleth at Yerushalayim.
Praise Hashem.
