PSALM 135
1Hallelujah.
Praise the name of the LORD,
O praise, you servants of the LORD,
2who stand in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3Praise Yah, for the LORD is good,
hymn His name, for it is sweet.
4For Yah has chosen for Himself Jacob,
Israel as His treasure.
5For I know that the LORD is great,
and our Master more than all the gods.
6All that the LORD desired He did
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all the depths.
7He brings up the clouds from the ends of the earth;
lightning for the rain He made;
He brings forth the wind from His stores.
8Who struck down the firstborn of Egypt
from humankind to beast.
9Sent forth signs and portents in the midst of Egypt
against Pharaoh and against all his servants.
10Who struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings—
11Sihon, the Amorite king
and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12And gave their land as an estate,
an estate to Israel, His people.
13LORD, Your name is forever,
LORD, Your fame for all generations.
14For the LORD champions His people,
and for His servants He shows change of heart.
15The nations’ idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16A mouth they have and they do not speak,
eyes they have and they do not see.
17Ears they have and they do not hear,
nor is there breath in their mouth.
18Like them may their makers be,
all who trust in them.
19House of Israel, bless the LORD,
House of Aaron, bless the LORD.
20House of Levi, bless the LORD.
Those who fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
21Blessed is the LORD from Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
