# Psalm 135
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD,
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God!
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant!
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast;
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings,
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, throughout all ages.
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them.
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
