CHAPTER 135

¹ Praise the LORD . ^[1]

Praise the name of the LORD ;
praise him, you servants of the LORD ,
² you who minister 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 praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
⁴ For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.

⁵ I know that the LORD is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
⁶ The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
⁷ He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

⁸ He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of men and animals.
⁹ He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
¹⁰ He struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings-
¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan
and all the kings of Canaan-
¹² and he gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.

¹³ Your name, O LORD , endures forever,
your renown, O LORD , through all generations.
¹⁴ For the LORD will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made by the hands of men.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but they cannot see;
¹⁷ they have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.

¹⁹ O house of Israel, praise the LORD ;
O house of Aaron, praise the LORD ;
²⁰ O house of Levi, praise the LORD ;
you who fear him, praise the LORD .
²¹ Praise be to the LORD from Zion,
to him who dwells in Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD .
