Psalms Chapter 135
1Hallelujah!
Praise the LORD;
praise him, his servant,
2you that stand in his Temple,
in the courts of our God!
3 Praise him because he’s good;
sing his praises because he’s gracious,
4because he’s chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel for his own possession.
Ps 135:1-4
5 I know the LORD is great,
that he’s above all gods.
6 He does what he wants
in the sky, on earth, in the seas and all their depths.
7 He makes clouds come up from the horizon;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings the wind out of his storehouses.
Ps 135:5-7
8 He struck Egypt’s firstborn,
people and animals.
9 He performed signs and wonders
on Pharaoh and his people.
10 He struck many nations
and slew powerful kings:
11Sihon, king of the Amorites;
Og, king of Bashan;
as well as the kingdoms in Canaan.
12 He gave their land as an inheritance
to his people Israel.
13 His name lasts forever;
his renown endures throughout all generations.
14 The LORD will vindicate his people
and have mercy on his servants.
Ps 135:8-14
15The hand-crafted idols the nations have are just silver and gold
16with mouths that can’t talk,
with eyes that can’t see,
17with ears that can’t hear;
and they can’t breathe.
18 The ones that make them are just like them,
everybody that trusts in them too.
Ps 135:15-18
19 House of Israel, bless the LORD;
House of Aaron, bless the LORD;
20 House of Levi, bless the LORD;
you that respect the LORD, bless him.
21 From Zion bless the LORD,
who lives in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
Ps 135:19-21
