Psalm 135

Your Name, O Lord, Endures Forever

135^uPraise the Lord!

Praise the name of the Lord,

give praise, O ^vservants of the Lord,

²who ⁿstand in the house of the Lord,

in ^wthe courts of the house of our God!

³Praise the Lord, for ^xthe Lord is good;

sing to his name, ^yfor it is pleasant!¹

⁴For the Lord has ^zchosen Jacob for himself,

Israel as his ^aown possession.

⁵For I know that ^bthe Lord is great,

and that our Lord is above all gods.

^6cWhatever the Lord pleases, he does,

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all deeps.

^7dHe it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,

who ^emakes lightnings for the rain

and brings forth the wind from his ^fstorehouses.

⁸He it was who ^gstruck down the firstborn of Egypt,

both of man and of beast;

⁹who in your midst, O Egypt,

sent ^hsigns and wonders

against Pharaoh and all his servants;

¹⁰ⁱwho struck down many nations

and killed mighty kings,

^11jSihon, king of the Amorites,

and ^kOg, king of Bashan,

and ^lall the kingdoms of Canaan,

¹²and ^mgave their land as a heritage,

a heritage to his people Israel.

¹³ⁿYour name, O Lord, endures forever,

^oyour renown,² O Lord, throughout all ages.

^14pFor the Lord will vindicate his people

and ^qhave compassion on his servants.

^15rThe 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.

^19sO 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 ^tfrom Zion,

he who ^udwells in Jerusalem!

^vPraise the Lord!
