135:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise [Him], O servants of the LORD, 135:2 You 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 praises to His name, for it is lovely. 135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for 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 in earth, in the seas and in all deeps. 135:7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightnings for the rain; Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries. 135:8 He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast. 135:9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. 135:10 He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings, 135:11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, And Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan; 135:12 And He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. 135:13 Thy name, O LORD, is everlasting, Thy remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations. 135:14 For the LORD will judge His people, And will have compassion on His servants. 135:15 The idols of the nations are [but] silver and gold, The work of man's hands. 135:16 They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see; 135:17 They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths. 135:18 Those who make them will be like them, [Yes], everyone who trusts 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 revere the LORD, bless the LORD. 135:21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
