A praise song

Psa 135:1–21

135 Praise Yahweh—praise his name.

Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

2 who stand in the house of Yahweh—

in the courtyards around our god’s house.

3 Praise Yahweh, because he is good.

≈ Sing praises to his name because it’s pleasant,

4 because Yahweh has chosen Ya’akov (Jacob) for himself—

Yisrael (Israel) as his very own.


5 You see, I myself know that Yahweh is great,

yes, our master is greater than all other gods.

6 Yahweh does whatever he wants to do

in heaven and on the earth,

in the seas, including all their deepest parts.

7 He makes the clouds rise up from the end of the earth.

He makes lightning accompany the rain,

and brings the wind out of his storehouse.


8 He struck Mitsrayim’s (Egypt’s) firstborn males—

both people and animals.[ref]

9 He did miracles and amazing things in your country, Mitsrayim,

against Par’oh (Pharaoh) and all his servants.

10 He struck many nations

and killed powerful kings,

11 Sihon king of the Amorim,

and Og king of Bashan,

and all the Kena’ani (Canaanite) kings.

12 He gave their land as an inheritance—

an inheritance to his people Yisrael (Israel).


13 Your reputation lasts forever, Yahweh.

≈ Your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout the generations

14 because Yahweh judges his people,

and he’s compassionate towards his servants.


15 The nations’ idols are silver and gold—

the work of people’s hands.[ref]

16 Those idols have mouths, but they can’t speak.

≈ They have eyes, but they can’t see.

17 ≈ They have ears, but they can’t hear,

≈ and there’s no breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will end up like them,

as will all those who put their trust in them.


19 Descendants of Yisrael (Israel), bless Yahweh.

Descendants of Aharon (Aaron), bless Yahweh.

20 Descendants of Levi, bless Yahweh.

All you who respect Yahweh, bless him.

21 Blessed be Yahweh in Tsiyon (Zion)—

≈ he who lives in Yerushalem (Jerusalem).


Praise Yahweh.

Exo 11:

11 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses), “I’ll send one more plague to Par’oh (Pharaoh) and Mitsrayim (Egypt). After that he’ll let you all go from here. What’s more, when he does he’ll actually chase you all right out of here. 2 Go and quietly tell the people that both men and women should ask their Mitsri (Egyptian) neighbours for items of gold and silver.” 3 Then Yahweh gave the Israelis favour in the eyes of the Mitsrim (Egyptians). What’s more, Mosheh was very prestigious in the eyes of Par’oh’s servants and in the eyes of the Mitsri people.

4 Then Mosheh told Par’oh, “This is what Yahweh says: Sometime around the middle of the night I’ll go out around Mitsrayim, 5 and every oldest son in Mitsrayim will die, from the oldest son of Par’oh who sits on his throne, to the oldest son of the slave girl who lives behind the mill, as well as every oldest male offspring of your livestock. 6 Then there’ll be loud wailing right across Mitsrayim which will be nothing anything that’s ever happened before, and nothing like it will ever happen again. 7 But amongst the Israelis, the dogs won’t growl at any person or animals so that you’ll know that Yahweh distinguishes between Mitsrayim and Yisrael (Israel). 8 Then all your servants will come down to me, and they’ll bow to me, pleading, ‘Go, you and all the people who follow you.’ And after that I’ll leave Mitsrayim.” Then Mosheh left Par’oh in a fiery rage.

9 Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “Par’oh refused to listen to you, so that I’m able to multiply my miracles in Mitsrayim.” 10 Mosheh and Aharon (Aaron) had done all those miracles in front of Par’oh but Yahweh had made Par’oh stubborn so he hadn’t let the Israelis leave his country.

11:8 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

Psa 115:4-8:

4 The other nations’ gods are gold and silver idols

that people have made with their own hands.

5 Those idols have mouths, but they can’t speak.

≈ They have eyes, but they can’t see.

6 They have ears, but they can’t hear.

≈ They have noses, but they can’t smell.

7 They have hands, but can’t feel anything.

≈ They have feet, but can’t walk.

They can’t make any sounds in their throats.

8 The people who make them are just like them,

as is everyone who trusts them to help them.

Rev 9:20:

20 However, the rest of humankind that hadn’t been killed by those disasters, didn’t repent of their actions and didn’t stop worshipping demons and idols made of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood—idols that can’t see, can’t hear, and can’t walk.[ref]
