135:1  Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD;
Praise Him, O you 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 pleasant.

135:4  For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His special treasure.

135:5  For I know that the LORD is great,
And 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 deep places.

135:7  He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out of His treasuries.

135:8  He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and beast.

135:9  He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,
Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

135:10  He defeated many nations
And slew mighty kings—

135:11  Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
And all the kingdoms of Canaan—

135:12  And gave their land as a heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.

135:13  Your name, O LORD, endures forever,
Your fame, O LORD, throughout all generations.

135:14  For the LORD will judge His people,
And He will have compassion on His servants.

135:15  The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.

135:16  They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;

135:17  They have ears, but they do not hear;
Nor is there any breath in their mouths.

135:18  Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

135:19  Bless the LORD, O house of Israel!
Bless the LORD, O house of Aaron!

135:20  Bless the LORD, O house of Levi!
You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

135:21  Blessed be the LORD out of Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
