Psalms - Chapter 135

Praise the Lord - He is the only God

¹ Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise [Him,] O you servants of the LORD!

² You who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God,

³ Praise the LORD, for the LORD [is] good; Sing praises to His name, for [it is] pleasant.

⁴ For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.

⁵ For I know that the LORD [is] great, And our Lord [is] above all gods.

⁶ Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places.

⁷ He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries.

⁸ He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

⁹ He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

¹⁰ He defeated many nations And slew mighty kings --

¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan --

¹² And gave their land [as] a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.

¹³ Your name, O LORD, [endures] forever, Your fame, O LORD, throughout all generations.

¹⁴ For the LORD will judge His people, And He will have compassion on His servants.

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

¹⁶ They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;

¹⁷ They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there [any] breath in their mouths.

¹⁸ Those who make them are like them; [So is] everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹ Bless the LORD, O house of Israel! Bless the LORD, O house of Aaron!

²⁰ Bless the LORD, O house of Levi! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

²¹ Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
