Psalm 135

¹Praise the LORD!

Praise the LORD’s name!

Praise him, you servants of the LORD,

²you who stand in the LORD’s house,

in the courts of our God’s house.

³Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good.

Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.

⁴For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,

Israel for his own possession.

⁵For I know that the LORD is great,

that our Lord is above all gods.

⁶Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done,

in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

⁷He 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.

⁸He struck the firstborn of Egypt,

both of man and animal.

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

on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

¹⁰He struck many nations,

and killed mighty kings—

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

and all the kingdoms of Canaan—

¹²and gave their land for a heritage,

a heritage to Israel, his people.

¹³Your name, LORD, endures forever;

your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.

¹⁴For the LORD will judge his people

and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

the work of men’s hands.

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

They have eyes, but they can’t see.

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

neither is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Those who make them will be like them,

yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹House of Israel, praise the LORD!

House of Aaron, praise the LORD!

²⁰House of Levi, praise the LORD!

You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD!

²¹Blessed be the LORD from Zion,

who dwells in Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD!
