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 Yah!
Praise Yahweh’s name!
Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,
2you who stand in Yahweh’s house,
in the courts of our God’s house.
3Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good.
Sing praises to his name, for that is pleasant.
4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel for his own possession.
5For I know that Yahweh is great,
that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatever Yahweh pleased, that he has done,
in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
7He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightnings with the rain.
He brings the wind out of his treasuries.
8He struck the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and animal.
9He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt,
on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
10He struck many nations,
and killed mighty kings—
11Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan—
12and gave their land for a heritage,
a heritage to Israel, his people.
13Your name, Yahweh, endures forever;
your renown, Yahweh, throughout all generations.
14For Yahweh will judge his people
and have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands.
16They have mouths, but they can’t speak.
They have eyes, but they can’t see.
17They have ears, but they can’t hear,
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them will be like them,
yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19House of Israel, praise Yahweh!
House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
You who fear Yahweh, praise Yahweh!
21Blessed be Yahweh from Zion,
who dwells in Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!
