Psalm 135:1–21

¹Praise the Lord!

Praise the name of the Lord;

^aPraise Him, O you servants of the Lord!

^2bYou who stand in the house of the Lord,

In ^cthe courts of the house of our God,

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

Sing praises to His name, ^efor it is pleasant.

⁴For ^fthe Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,

Israel for His ¹special treasure.

⁵For I know that ^gthe Lord is great,

And our Lord is above all gods.

^6hWhatever the Lord pleases He does,

In heaven and in earth,

In the seas and in all deep places.

⁷ⁱHe causes the ²vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;

^jHe makes lightning for the rain;

He brings the wind out of His ^ktreasuries.

^8lHe ³destroyed the firstborn of Egypt,

⁴Both of man and beast.

^9mHe sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt,

ⁿUpon Pharaoh and all his servants.

^10oHe defeated many nations

And slew mighty kings—

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

And ^pall the kingdoms of Canaan—

^12qAnd gave their land as a ⁵heritage,

A heritage to Israel His people.

^13rYour name, O Lord, endures forever,

Your fame, O Lord, throughout all generations.

^14sFor the Lord will judge His people,

And He will have compassion on His servants.

^15tThe idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but they do not speak;

Eyes they have, but they do not see;

¹⁷They have ears, but they do not hear;

Nor is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Those who make them are like them;

So is everyone who trusts in them.

^19uBless the Lord, O house of Israel!

Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron!

²⁰Bless the Lord, O house of Levi!

You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!

²¹Blessed be the Lord ^vout of Zion,

Who dwells in Jerusalem!

Praise the Lord!
