Psalms 135:8-21 ▼

8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, || From man to beast.

9 He sent tokens and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, || On Pharaoh and on all his servants.

10 Who struck many nations, and slew strong kings,

11 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, || And Og king of Bashan, || And all kingdoms of Canaan.

12 And He gave their land an inheritance, || An inheritance to His people Israel,

13 O YHWH, Your Name [is] for all time, || O YHWH, Your memorial from generation to generation.

14 For YHWH judges His people, || And comforts Himself for His servants.

15 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, || Work of the hands of man.

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

17 They have ears, and they do not give ear, || Nose—there is no breath in their mouth!

18 Their makers are like them, || Everyone who is trusting in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless YHWH, || O house of Aaron, bless YHWH,

20 O house of Levi, bless YHWH, || Those fearing YHWH, bless YHWH.

21 Blessed [is] YHWH from Zion, || Inhabiting Jerusalem—praise YAH!
