Psalms [Praises] 135:4-20

⁴For Yah has chosen Jacob Supplanter for himself; Israel God prevails for his own segulah ·special treasure·.

⁵For I know that Adonai is great, that our Lord is above all deities.

⁶Whatever Adonai pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

⁷who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who makes lightnings with the rain; who brings the wind out of his treasuries;

⁸Who struck the firstborn of Egypt Abode of slavery, both of man and animal;

⁹Who sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt Abode of slavery, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

¹⁰who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites Descendants of Talkers, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan Humbled,

¹²and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel God prevails, his people.

¹³Your name, Adonai , endures forever; your renown, Adonai , throughout all generations.

¹⁴For Adonai will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

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

¹⁸Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹House of Israel God prevails, praise Adonai ! House of Aaron Light-bringer, praise Adonai !

²⁰House of Levi United with, praise Adonai ! You who fear Adonai, praise Adonai !
