Psalm 135
135
Your Name, O Lord, Endures Forever
1 # See Ps. 104:35 Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord,
give praise, O #See Ps. 113:1servants of the Lord,
2who #[See Ps. 134:1 above] stand in the house of the Lord,
in #Ps. 92:13the courts of the house of our God!
3Praise the Lord, for #See Ps. 100:5 the Lord is good;
sing to his name, #Ps. 147:1; [Ps. 52:9]for it is pleasant!#135:3 Or for he is beautiful
4For the Lord has #Deut. 7:6, 7; 10:15; See Ps. 105:6 chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his #Ex. 19:5own possession.
5For I know that #Ps. 95:3the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 #
Ps. 115:3
Whatever the Lord pleases, he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.
7 #
Jer. 10:13; 51:16 He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
who #[Job 28:25, 26; 38:25; Zech. 10:1] makes lightnings for the rain
and brings forth the wind from his #Job 38:22storehouses.
8He it was who #See Ps. 78:51struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;
9who in your midst, O Egypt,
sent #Deut. 6:22signs and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 # For ver. 10-12, see Ps. 136:17-22 who struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings,
11 #
Deut. 29:7; See Num. 21:21-26 Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and #See Num. 21:33-35 Og, king of Bashan,
and #See Josh. 12:7-24all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12and #Deut. 29:8; See Ps. 78:55gave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.
13 #
Ex. 3:15 Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
#
Ps. 102:12
your renown,#135:13 Or remembrance O Lord, throughout all ages.
14 #
Deut. 32:36 For the Lord will vindicate his people
and #See Ps. 90:13have compassion on his servants.
15 # For ver. 15-18, see Ps. 115:4-8 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
17they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them.
19 # See Ps. 115:9 O house of Israel, bless the Lord!
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
20O house of Levi, bless the Lord!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
21Blessed be the Lord #Ps. 128:5 from Zion,
he who #Ps. 132:13, 14 dwells in Jerusalem!
# ver. 1 Praise the Lord!

Psalms 135
135
1Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2you who serve in the Lord’s Temple,
in the courtyard of the Temple of our God.
3Praise the Lord, because he is good.
Praise his name, because it brings such joy!
4The Lord chose Jacob to be his own.
Yes, he chose Israel to be his own people.
5I know the Lord is great!
Our Lord is greater than all the gods!
6The Lord does whatever he wants,
in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the deep oceans.
7He brings the clouds from the other side of the earth.
He sends the lightning and the rain,
and he opens the doors to release the winds.
8He destroyed the firstborn males of the people in Egypt and their animals.
9He did great wonders and miracles in Egypt.
He used them against Pharaoh and his officials.
10He defeated many nations
and killed powerful kings.
11He defeated Sihon, king of the Amorites,
Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms in Canaan.
12Then he gave their land to Israel, his people.
13Lord, your name will be famous forever!
Lord, people will remember you forever and ever.
14The Lord defends his people;
he is kind to his servants.
15The gods of other nations are only gold and silver idols
that people have made.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak.
They have eyes, but cannot see.
17They have ears, but cannot hear.
They have mouths, but no breath.
18Those who make idols and trust in them
will become just like the idols they have made.
19Family of Israel, praise the Lord!
Aaron’s family, praise the Lord!
20Levi’s family, praise the Lord!
All you who worship the Lord, praise the Lord!
21The Lord should be praised from Zion,
from Jerusalem, his home.
Praise the Lord!
