Psalms 135 from Scroll 4Q92 Psalms^k

6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,

in heaven and in earth, to do as he does,

there is none like Yah, there is none like Yahweh,

there is none who acts as king of the gods[1]

in the seas and in all deeps;

7 who 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;

8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,

both of man and animal;

[..]

10 who struck many nations,

and killed mighty kings,

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

12 and gave their land for a heritage,

a heritage to Israel, his people.

13 Your name, Yahweh, endures forever;

your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.

[..]

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

the work of men’s hands.

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

They have eyes, but they can’t see.

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

Psalms 135 from 11Q5 Psalms^a

1 Praise Yah! him, you servants of Yahweh,

Praise Yahweh’s name!

Praise him, you servants of Yahweh, Yah!

2 And exalt Yah, you who stand in Yahweh’s house,

in the courts of our God’s house and in your midst, Jerusalem.

3 Praise Yah, for Yahweh, for He is good.

Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

4 For Yah he has chosen Jacob for himself;

and Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that Yahweh is great,

that our Lord God is above all gods.

6 Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,

in heaven and in earth, to do as he has done, there is none like Yah, there is none like Yahweh, and there is none who does as king of the gods in the seas and in all deeps;

7 who 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;

8 Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,

both of man and animal;

9 Who sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt,

on Pharaoh, and on all his servants;

[..]

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

neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them will be like them;

yes, everyone who trusts in them.

19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh!

House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!

20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh!

You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!

21 Blessed be May Yahweh bless you from Zion,

Who dwells at Jerusalem.

Praise Yah!
