Psalms 135

¹Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praisehim, O ye servants of Jehovah,

²Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.

³Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

⁴For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, AndIsrael for his own possession.

⁵For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.

⁶Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

⁷Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;

⁸Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;

⁹Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;

¹⁰Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings,

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

¹²And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.

¹³Thy name, O Jehovah, endurethfor ever; Thy memorial name, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

¹⁴For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;

¹⁷They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

¹⁹O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:

²⁰O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

²¹Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.

¹Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,

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

³Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

⁴For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

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

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

⁷He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

⁸He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.

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

¹⁰He struck down many 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, as a heritage to His people Israel.

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

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

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

¹⁶They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

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

¹⁸Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

¹⁹O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

²⁰O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

²¹Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
