135:1  Praise the Lord! Praise his name, you servants of the Lord,
135:2  who stand in the Lord's house, in the Temple of our God.
135:3  Praise the Lord, because he is good; sing praises to his name, because he is kind.
135:4  He chose Jacob for himself, the people of Israel for his own.
135:5  I know that our Lord is great, greater than all the gods.
135:6  He does whatever he wishes in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in the depths below.
135:7  He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the storms, and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.
135:8  In Egypt he killed all the first-born of people and animals alike.
135:9  There he performed miracles and wonders to punish the king and all his officials.
135:10  He destroyed many nations and killed powerful kings:
135:11  Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings in Canaan.
135:12  He gave their lands to his people; he gave them to Israel.
135:13  Lord, you will always be proclaimed as God; all generations will remember you.
135:14  The Lord will defend his people; he will take pity on his servants.
135:15  The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold; they are formed by human hands.
135:16  They have mouths, but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see.
135:17  They have ears, but cannot hear; they are not even able to breathe.
135:18  May all who made them and who trust in them become like the idols they have made!
135:19  Praise the Lord, people of Israel; praise him, you priests of God!
135:20  Praise the Lord, you Levites; praise him, all you that worship him!
135:21  Praise the Lord in Zion, in Jerusalem, his home. Praise the Lord!
