135:1  Praise Hashem. Halelu Shem Hashem; Halelu, O ye avadim of Hashem.
135:2  Ye that stand ministering in the Beis Hashem, in the khatzerot Beis Eloheinu.
135:3  Praise Hashem; for Hashem is tov; sing praise unto Shmo; for it is na’im (lovely, pleasing).
135:4  For Hashem hath chosen Ya’akov unto Himself, and Yisroel for His segullah (peculiar treasure).
135:5  For I know that Hashem is gadol, and that Adoneinu is above kol elohim.
135:6  Whatsoever Hashem pleases, that He does in Shomayim, and in HaAretz, in HaYam, and kol tehomot.
135:7  He causeth the clouds to ascend at the end of HaAretz; He maketh lightning for the matar (rain); He bringeth the ruach out of His otzarot.
135:8  Who struck down the Bechorei Mitzrayim, both of adam and behemah.
135:9  Who sent otot and mofetim into the midst of thee, O Mitzrayim, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his avadim.
135:10  Who struck down Goyim rabbim, and slaughtered melachim atzumim (powerful kings);
135:11  Sichon Melech HaEmori, and Og Melech HaBashan, and all the mamlechot Kena’an;
135:12  And gave their land for a nachalah, an inheritance unto Yisroel Amo (His people).
135:13  Thy Shem, Hashem, endureth l’olam; and Thy remembrance, Hashem, l’dor vador.
135:14  For Hashem will vindicate His people; He will have compassion on His avadim.
135:15  The idols of the Goyim are kesef and zahav, the ma’aseh yedei adam.
135:16  They have mouths, but they speak not; einayim have they, but they see not;
135:17  They have oznayim, but they hear not; neither is there any ruach in their mouths.
135:18  They that oseihem (make them) will be like them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
135:19  Barakhu Hashem, O Bais Yisroel; barakhu Hashem, O Bais Aharon;
135:20  Barakhu Hashem, O Bais HaLevi; ye that fear Hashem, barakhu Hashem.
135:21  Baruch Hashem out of Tziyon, which dwelleth at Yerushalayim. Praise Hashem.
