Psalms - Chapter 135 | English Standard Version

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