Psalms 135

¹Praise the LORD! Praise his name, you servants of the LORD,

²who stand in the LORD's house, in the Temple of our God.

³Praise the LORD, because he is good; sing praises to his name, because he is kind.

⁴He chose Jacob for himself, the people of Israel for his own.

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

⁶He does whatever he wishes in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in the depths below.

⁷He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the storms, and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.

⁸In Egypt he killed all the first-born of people and animals alike.

⁹There he performed miracles and wonders to punish the king and all his officials.

¹⁰He destroyed many nations and killed powerful kings:

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

¹²He gave their lands to his people; he gave them to Israel.

¹³LORD, you will always be proclaimed as God; all generations will remember you.

¹⁴The LORD will defend his people; he will take pity on his servants.

¹⁵The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold; they are formed by human hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see.

¹⁷They have ears, but cannot hear; they are not even able to breathe.

¹⁸May all who made them and who trust in them become like the idols they have made!

¹⁹Praise the LORD, people of Israel; praise him, you priests of God!

²⁰Praise the LORD, you Levites; praise him, all you that worship him!

²¹Praise the LORD in Zion, in Jerusalem, his home. Praise the LORD!
