Psalm 135
1 Praise
the LORD!
Praise the
LORD’s
name!
Praise him, you
servants of the
LORD,
2 you
who stand in
the LORD’s house,
in the courts
of our God’s
house.
3 Praise
the LORD,
for the LORD
is good.
Sing praises to
his name, for
that is pleasant.
4 For
the LORD
has chosen Jacob
for himself,
Israel for his own
possession.
5 For
I know that
the LORD is
great,
that our Lord
is above all gods.
6 Whatever
the LORD pleased,
that he has
done,
in heaven and
in earth, in
the seas and
in all deeps.
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.
8 He
struck the
firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and animal.
9 He
sent signs and
wonders into the
middle of you,
Egypt,
on Pharaoh, and
on all his
servants.
10 He
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, LORD,
endures forever;
your renown, LORD,
throughout all
generations.
14 For
the LORD will
judge his people
and have
compassion on his
servants.
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.
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
the LORD!
House of Aaron,
praise the LORD!
20 House
of Levi, praise
the LORD!
You who fear
the LORD, praise
the LORD!
21 Blessed
be the LORD
from Zion,
who dwells in
Jerusalem.
Praise the
LORD!
