135:1 O praise the LORD! O praise the name of the LORD; praise Him, O you servants of the LORD. |
135:2 Those who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, |
135:3 O 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, and Israel for His own 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 the heavens and in earth, and in the seas and in all deep places. |
135:7 He causes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth; He makes lightnings for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries. |
135:8 He who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal; |
135:9 Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, upon pharaoh and upon all his servants; |
135:10 Who struck great 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 gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel His people. |
135:13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, and Your memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations, |
135:14 For the LORD will judge His people, and He will have compassion upon 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; they have eyes, but they do not see; |
135:17 They have ears, but they do not hear, nor is there breath in their mouths. |
135:18 Those who make them are like unto them, so also 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 is the LORD out of Zion, Who dwells at Jerusalem. O praise you the LORD! |
