Psalm 135

Hallelujah! Praise the Name of the LORD ;

give praise, you servants of the LORD .

You who stand in the house of the LORD ,

in the courts of the house of our God.

Praise the LORD , for the LORD is good;

sing praises to his Name, for it is lovely.

For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself

and Israel for his own possession.

For I know that the LORD is great,

and that our Lord is above all gods.

The LORD does whatever pleases him, in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all the deeps.

He brings up rain clouds from the ends of the earth;

he sends out lightning with the rain, and brings the winds out of his storehouse.

It was he who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,

the firstborn both of man and beast.

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,

against Pharaoh and all his servants.

He overthrew many nations

and put mighty kings to death:

Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan,

and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

He gave their land to be an inheritance,

an inheritance for Israel his people.

O LORD , your Name is everlasting;

your renown, O LORD , endures from age to age.

For the LORD gives his people justice

and shows compassion to his servants.

The idols of the heathen are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but they cannot speak;

eyes have they, but they cannot see.

They have ears, but they cannot hear;

neither is there any breath in their mouth.

Those who make them are like them,

and so are all who put their trust in them.

Bless the LORD , O house of Israel;

O house of Aaron, bless the LORD .

Bless the LORD , O house of Levi;

you who fear the LORD , bless the LORD .

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion,

who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
