Psalm 135

¹Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

²You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,

³Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.

⁴For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

⁵I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.

⁶The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

⁷He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

⁸He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

⁹He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

¹⁰He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

¹¹Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

¹²And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.

¹³O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

¹⁴For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

¹⁵The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

¹⁷They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.

¹⁹Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:

²⁰Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.
