135:1  Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the name of the Lord; praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
135:2  You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
135:3  Praise the Lord! For the Lord is good; sing praises to His name, for He is gracious and lovely!
135:4  For the Lord has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar possession and treasure.
135:5  For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods.
135:6  Whatever the Lord pleases, that has He done in the heavens and on earth, in the seas and all deeps—
135:7  Who causes the vapors to arise from the ends of the earth, Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings the wind out of His storehouses;
135:8  Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
135:9  Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants;
135:10  Who smote nations many and great and slew mighty kings—
135:11  Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
135:12  [The Lord] gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel His people.
135:13  Your name, O Lord, endures forever, Your fame, O Lord, throughout all ages.
135:14  For the Lord will judge and vindicate His people, and He will delay His judgments [manifesting His righteousness and mercy] and take into favor His servants [those who meet His terms of separation unto Him].
135:15  The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
135:16  [Idols] have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
135:17  They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
135:18  Those who make [idols] are like them; so is everyone who trusts in and relies on them.
135:19  Bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron [God’s ministers].
135:20  Bless the Lord, O house of Levi [the dedicated tribe]; you who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, bless the Lord [affectionately and gratefully praise Him]!
135:21  Blessed out of Zion be the Lord, Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
