135:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD, 135:2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God! 135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant! 135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession. 135:5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. 135:6 Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. 135:7 He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. 135:8 He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast; 135:9 who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants; 135:10 who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings, 135:11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan, 135:12 and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel. 135:13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, throughout all ages. 135:14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. 135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 135:16 They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see; 135:17 they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths. 135:18 Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them! 135:19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD! 135:20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD! 135:21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
