Psalms 135
135
1Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye the name of the LORD;
Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD:
2Ye that stand in the house of the LORD,
In the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise ye the LORD; for the LORD is good:
Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself,
And Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5For I know that the LORD is great,
And that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath he done,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
7He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
He maketh lightnings for the rain;
He bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and beast.
9He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,
Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10Who smote many nations,
And slew mighty kings;
11Sihon king of the Amorites,
And Og king of Bashan,
And all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12And gave their land for an heritage,
An heritage unto Israel his people.
13Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever;
Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14For the LORD shall judge his people,
And repent himself concerning his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men's hands.
16They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but they hear not;
Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18They that make them shall be like unto them;
Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19O house of Israel, bless ye the LORD:
O house of Aaron, bless ye the LORD:
20O house of Levi, bless ye the LORD:
Ye that fear the LORD, bless ye the LORD.
21Blessed be the LORD out of Zion,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 135
135
A Hymn of Praise
1Praise the LORD!
Praise his name, you servants of the LORD,
2who stand in the LORD's house,
in the Temple of our God.
3Praise the LORD, because he is good;
sing praises to his name, because he is kind.#135.3 he is kind; or it is pleasant to do so.
4He chose Jacob for himself,
the people of Israel for his own.
5I know that our LORD is great,
greater than all the gods.
6He does whatever he wishes
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and in the depths below.
7He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth;
he makes lightning for the storms,
and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.
8In Egypt he killed all the firstborn
of people and animals alike.
9There he performed miracles and wonders
to punish the king and all his officials.
10He destroyed many nations
and killed powerful kings:
11Sihon, king of the Amorites,
Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kings in Canaan.
12He gave their lands to his people;
he gave them to Israel.
13 LORD, you will always be proclaimed as God;
all generations will remember you.
14The LORD will defend his people;
he will take pity on his servants.

Ps 115.4–8; Rev 9.20 The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold;
they are formed by human hands.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak,
and eyes, but cannot see.
17They have ears, but cannot hear;
they are not even able to breathe.
18May all who made them and who trust in them
become#135.18 May all… become; or All who made them and who trust in them will become. like the idols they have made!
19Praise the LORD, people of Israel;
praise him, you priests of God!
20Praise the LORD, you Levites;
praise him, all you that worship him!
21Praise the LORD in Zion,
in Jerusalem, his home.
Praise the LORD!
