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
1Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, 2Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God#GodHebrew: Elohim 3Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods. 6Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps; 7Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries: 8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; 9Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants; 10Who smote great 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 inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people. 13Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation. 14For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: 16They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; 17They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth. 18They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them. 19House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah; 20House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah. 21Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
