Psalms 135
Praise the Lord’s Wonderful Works. Vanity of Idols.
112Praise 3the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, O 4servants of the Lord,2You who stand in the house of the Lord, In the 5courts of the house of our God!36Praise 7the Lord, for 8the Lord is good; 9Sing praises to His name, 10for it is lovely.4For 11the Lord has 12chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His 1314own possession.
5For I know that 15the Lord is great And that our Lord is 16above all gods.617Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.718He 19causes the 20vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who 21makes lightnings for the rain, Who 22brings forth the wind from His treasuries.
823He 24smote the firstborn of Egypt, 25Both of man and beast.926He sent 27signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon 28Pharaoh and all his servants.102930He 31smote many nations And slew mighty kings,1132Sihon, king of the Amorites, And 33Og, king of Bashan, And 34all the kingdoms of Canaan;12And He 35gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.13Your 36name, O Lord, is everlasting, Your 37remembrance, O Lord, 38throughout all generations.14For the Lord will 39judge His people And 40will have compassion on His servants.15The 41idols of the nations are but silver and gold, The work of man’s hands.16They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see;17They have ears, but they do not hear, Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.18Those who make them will be like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
19O house of 42Israel, bless the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;20O house of Levi, bless the Lord; You 43who 44revere the Lord, bless the Lord.21Blessed be the Lord 45from Zion, Who 46dwells in Jerusalem. 47Praise 48the Lord!
