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!

Psalms 135
135
1Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Praise him, you who serve the Lord,
2you who serve in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
celebrate his lovely name with music.
4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel for his own special treasure.
5I know the greatness of the Lord—
that our Lord is greater than any other god.
6The Lord does whatever pleases him
throughout all heaven and earth,
and on the seas and in their depths.
7He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from his storehouses.
8He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home,
both people and animals.
9He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt
against Pharaoh and all his people.
10He struck down great nations
and slaughtered mighty kings—
11Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.
12He gave their land as an inheritance,
a special possession to his people Israel.
13Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation.
14For the Lord will give justice to his people
and have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold,
shaped by human hands.
16They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
17They have ears but cannot hear,
and mouths but cannot breathe.
18And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.
19O Israel, praise the Lord!
O priests—descendants of Aaron—praise the Lord!
20O Levites, praise the Lord!
All you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord!
21The Lord be praised from Zion,
for he lives here in Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord!
