Moff PSA Chapter 135

135

135 Hallelujah.

Praise the Eternal’s name,

praise him, ye servants of the Eternal,

2 who stand within the Eternal’s house,

in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the Eternal, he is good;

sing to his name, he is gracious;

4 the Eternal has chosen Jacob to be his,

and Israel as his prized possession.

5 We know the Eternal is great,

and our Lord high overall gods.

6 The Eternal does whate’er he pleases,

in heaven and earth, the seas and all abysses;

7 he makes mists rise from the ends of the earth,

sends lightning to bring on the rain,

and wind out of his storehouses.

8 ’Twas he who killed the first-born in Egypt,

both of man and beast,

9 who sent portents upon Egypt,

on the Pharaoh and all his servants;

10 many a nation he struck down,

and mighty kings he slew,

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og the king of Bashan,

and all the powers of Canaan,

12 giving their land to Israel,

to his people to possess.

13 Thy name, O thou Eternal, lives for ever,

thy fame from age to age;

14 the Eternal will right his people’s wrongs,

and be sorry for his servants.

15 Pagan idols are mere gold and silver,

made by the hands of men,

16 with mouths – but they never speak,

with eyes – but they cannot see,

17 with ears – but they cannot hear,

with no breath in their lips!

18 So be it with their makers,

with all who trust in them!

19 Bless the Eternal, Israel’s household!

Bless the Eternal, Aaron’s household!

20 Bless the Eternal, Levi’s household!

Bless the Eternal, ye his worshippers!

21 Blessed be the Eternal in Sion,

who dwells at Jerusalem!
