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 does good; Sing praises to His name, for it has a lovely sound. |
135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His own possession. |
135:5 For I acknowledge the LORD as great And that our Lord dwells 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 firstborn 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 Your name, O LORD extends forever, Your 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 consist of 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 do they have any breath at all in their mouths. |
135:18 Those who make them will resemble 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 We bless the LORD from Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD! |
