Psalm 135

^135:1 Praise the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. Offer praise, you servants of the Lord, ^135:2 who serve in the Lord’s temple, in the courts of the temple of our God. ^135:3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant. ^135:4 Indeed, the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his special possession. ^135:5 Yes, I know the Lord is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods. ^135:6 He does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths. ^135:7 He causes the clouds to arise from the end of the earth, makes lightning bolts accompany the rain, and brings the wind out of his storehouses. ^135:8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, including both men and animals. ^135:9 He performed awesome deeds and acts of judgment in your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. ^135:10 He defeated 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 He gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance to Israel his people. ^135:13 O Lord, your name endures, your reputation, O Lord, lasts. ^135:14 For the Lord vindicates his people and has compassion on his servants. ^135:15 The nations’ idols are made of silver and gold; they are man-made. ^135:16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see, ^135:17 and ears, but cannot hear. Indeed, they cannot breathe. ^135:18 Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. ^135:19 O family of Israel, praise the Lord. O family of Aaron, praise the Lord. ^135:20 O family of Levi, praise the Lord. You loyal followers of the Lord, praise the Lord. ^135:21 The Lord deserves praise in Zion — he who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
