Psalms
135-137
Psa
135:1 Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh! Praise him, you
servants of Yahweh,
Psa
135:2 you who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of our
God's house.
Psa
135:3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises to his name, for
that is pleasant.
Psa
135:4 For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own
possession.
Psa
135:5 For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all
gods.
Psa
135:6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in
earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
Psa
135:7 who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; who
makes lightnings with the rain; who brings forth the wind out of his
treasuries;
Psa
135:8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal;
Psa
135:9 Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, Egypt, on
Pharaoh, and on all his servants;
Psa
135:10 who struck many nations, and killed mighty kings,
Psa
135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the
kingdoms of Canaan,
Psa
135:12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his
people.
Psa
135:13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh,
throughout all generations.
Psa
135:14 For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his
servants.
Psa
135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of
men's hands.
Psa
135:16 They have mouths, but they can't speak. They have eyes, but
they can't see.
Psa
135:17 They have ears, but they can't hear; neither is there any
breath in their mouths.
Psa
135:18 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who
trusts in them.
Psa
135:19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh! House of Aaron, praise
Yahweh!
Psa
135:20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh! You who fear Yahweh, praise
Yahweh!
Psa
135:21 Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise
Yah!

136:12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm; for his
loving kindness endures forever:
Psa
136:13 To him who divided the Red Sea apart; for his loving kindness
endures forever;

136:14 And made Israel to pass through its midst; for his loving
kindness endures forever;
Psa
136:15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea; for his
loving kindness endures forever:
Psa
136:16 To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his
loving kindness endures forever:

kindness endures forever;
Psa
136:22 Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving
kindness endures forever:
Psa
136:23 Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness
endures forever;
Psa
136:24 And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving
kindness endures forever:
Psa
136:25 Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness
endures forever.
Psa
136:26 Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness
endures forever.
Psa
137:1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept,
when we remembered Zion.
Psa
137:2 On the willows in its midst, we hung up our harps.
Psa
137:3 For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those
who tormented us demanded songs of joy: "Sing us one of the
songs of Zion!"
Psa
137:4 How can we sing Yahweh's song in a foreign land?
Psa
137:5 If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget its
skill.
Psa
137:6 Let my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I don't
remember you; if I don't prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy.
Psa
137:7 Remember, Yahweh, against the children of Edom, the day of
Jerusalem; who said, "Raze it! Raze it even to its foundation!"
Psa
137:8 Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, he will be happy
who rewards you, as you have served us.
Psa
137:9 Happy shall he be, who takes and dashes your little ones
against the rock.
