135:1 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD! Offer praise, you servants of the LORD,
135:2 who serve in the LORD's temple, in the courts of the temple of our God.
135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good! Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant!
135:4 Indeed, the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his special possession.
135:5 Yes, I know the LORD is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods.
135:6 He does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.
135:7 He causes the clouds to arise from the end of the earth, makes lightning bolts accompany the rain, and brings the wind out of his storehouses.
135:8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, including both men and animals.
135:9 He performed awesome deeds and acts of judgment in your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
135:10 He defeated many nations, and killed mighty kings--
135:11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
135:12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance to Israel his people.
135:13 O LORD, your name endures, your reputation, O LORD, lasts.
135:14 For the LORD vindicates his people, and has compassion on his servants.
135:15 The nations' idols are made of silver and gold, they are man-made.
135:16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,
135:17 and ears, but cannot hear. Indeed, they cannot breathe.
135:18 Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.
135:19 O family of Israel, praise the LORD! O family of Aaron, praise the LORD!
135:20 O family of Levi, praise the LORD! You loyal followers of the LORD, praise the LORD!
135:21 The LORD deserves praise in Zion--he who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
