Psalms 135 ⓘ

135:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD’s name! Praise him, you servants of the LORD,

135:2 you who stand in the LORD’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.

135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good. Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

135:6 Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

135:7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

135:8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.

135:9 He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

135:10 He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—

135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—

135:12 and gave their land for a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

135:13 Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.

135:14 For the LORD will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.

135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

135:16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

135:17 They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.

135:18 Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.

135:19 House of Israel, praise the LORD! House of Aaron, praise the LORD!

135:20 House of Levi, praise the LORD! You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD!

135:21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
