Psalms 135

¹Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise him, you who serve the Lord,

²you who serve in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

³Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; celebrate his lovely name with music.

⁴For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own special treasure.

⁵I know the greatness of the Lord— that our Lord is greater than any other god.

⁶The Lord does whatever pleases him throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths.

⁷He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth. He sends the lightning with the rain and releases the wind from his storehouses.

⁸He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home, both people and animals.

⁹He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt against Pharaoh and all his people.

¹⁰He struck down great nations and slaughtered mighty kings—

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

¹²He gave their land as an inheritance, a special possession to his people Israel.

¹³Your name, O Lord, endures forever; your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation.

¹⁴For the Lord will give justice to his people and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.

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

¹⁷They have ears but cannot hear, and mouths but cannot breathe.

¹⁸And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.

¹⁹O Israel, praise the Lord! O priests—descendants of Aaron—praise the Lord!

²⁰O Levites, praise the Lord! All you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord!

²¹The Lord be praised from Zion, for he lives here in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
