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!

Psalm 135
1Praise the LORD!
Praise the LORD’s name!
All you who serve the LORD, praise God!
2All you who stand in the LORD’s house—
who stand in the courtyards of our God’s temple—
3praise the LORD, because the LORD is good!
Sing praises to God’s name because it is beautiful!
4Because the LORD chose Jacob as his own,
God chose Israel as his treasured possession.
5Yes, I know for certain that the LORD is great—
I know our Lord is greater than all other gods.
6The LORD can do whatever he wants
in heaven or on earth,
in the seas and in every ocean depth.
7God forms clouds at the far corners of the earth.
God makes lightning for the rain.
God releases the wind from its storeroom.
8God struck down the Egyptians’ oldest offspring—
both human and animal!
9God sent signs and wonders into the very center of Egypt—
against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10God struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings:
11Sihon the Amorite king,
Og the king of Bashan,
and all the Canaanite kings.
12Then God handed their land over as an inheritance—
as an inheritance to Israel, his own people.
13 LORD, your name is forever!
LORD, your fame extends from one generation to the next!
14The LORD gives justice to his people
and has compassion on those who serve him.
15The nations’ idols are just silver and gold—
things made by human hands.
16They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17They have ears, but they can’t listen.
No, there’s no breath in their lungs!
18Let the people who made these idols
and all who trust in them
become just like them!
19House of Israel, bless the LORD!
House of Aaron, bless the LORD!
20House of Levi, bless the LORD!
You who honor the LORD, bless the LORD!
21Bless the LORD from Zion—
bless the one who lives in Jerusalem!
Praise the LORD!
