Psalm 135

¹Praise the LORD. [218] Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁰He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings —

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁹All you Israelites, praise the LORD; house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

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

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