Psalm 135

¹ Praise the LORD. ^[a]
Praise the name of the LORD;
praise him, you servants of the LORD,

² you who minister in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.

³ Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

⁴ For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.

⁵ I know that the LORD is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.

⁶ The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.

⁷ He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

⁸ He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of men and animals.

⁹ He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.

¹⁰ He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings-

¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan
and all the kings of Canaan-

¹² and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.

¹³ Your name, O LORD, endures forever,
your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

¹⁴ For the LORD will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.

¹⁶ They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;

¹⁷ they have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.

¹⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.

¹⁹ O house of Israel, praise the LORD;
O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

²⁰ O house of Levi, praise the LORD;
you who fear him, praise the LORD.

²¹ Praise be to the LORD from Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD.
