Psalm 135

¹Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; give praise, O servants of the Lord,

²you that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

³Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for he is gracious.

⁴For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.

⁵For I know that the Lord is great; our Lord is above all gods.

⁶Whatever the Lord pleases he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.

⁷He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

⁸He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human beings and animals;

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

¹⁰He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings—

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

¹²and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.

¹³Your name, O Lord, endures forever, your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.

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

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

¹⁶They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;

¹⁷they have ears, but they do not hear, and there is no breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Those who make them and all who trust them shall become like them.

¹⁹O house of Israel, bless the Lord! O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!

²⁰O house of Levi, bless the Lord! You that fear the Lord, bless the Lord!

²¹Blessed be the Lord from Zion, he who resides in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
