Psalm 135
1Hallelujah!
Praise the name of the Lord.
Praise him, you servants of the Lord
2who are standing in the house of the Lord,
in the courtyards of the house of our God.
3Praise the Lord because he is good.
Make music to praise his name because his name is beautiful.
4The Lord chose Jacob to be his own
and chose Israel to be his own special treasure.
5I know that the Lord is great,
that our Lord is greater than all the false gods.
6The Lord does whatever he wants in heaven or on earth,
on the seas or in all the depths of the oceans.
7He is the one who makes the clouds rise from the ends of the earth,
who makes lightning for the thunderstorms,
and who brings wind out of his storerooms.
8He is the one who killed every firstborn male in Egypt.
He killed humans and animals alike.
9He sent miraculous signs and amazing things into the heart of Egypt
against Pharaoh and all his officials.
10He is the one who defeated many nations and killed mighty kings:
11King Sihon of the Amorites,
King Og of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms in Canaan.
12He gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to his people Israel.
13O Lord, your name endures forever.
O Lord, you will be remembered throughout every generation.
14The Lord will provide justice for his people
and have compassion on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are made of silver and gold.
They were made by human hands.#135:15 Verses 15–18 are virtually identical in wording to Psalm 115:4–8.
16They have mouths, but they cannot speak.
They have eyes, but they cannot see.
17They have ears, but they cannot hear.
They cannot breathe.
18Those who make idols end up like them.
So does everyone who trusts them.
19Descendants of Israel, praise the Lord.
Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord.
20Descendants of Levi, praise the Lord.
You people who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.
21Thank the Lord in Zion.
Thank the one who lives in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!

Psalms 135
135
1Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His name, for [it is] pleasant.
4For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His peculiar treasure.
5For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord [is] above all gods.
6All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and in earth, In the seas and all deep places,
7Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from His treasures.
8Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast.
9He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On Pharaoh and on all his servants.
10Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings,
11Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan, And all kingdoms of Canaan.
12And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel His people,
13O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy memorial to all generations.
14For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants comforteth Himself.
15The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of the hands of man.
16A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,
17Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose — there is no breath in their mouth!
18Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.
19O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah,
20O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem — praise ye Jah!
