135:1  Hallelujah! Praise the name of the Lord! Praise, you servants of the Lord,
135:2  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 to his name, for it brings joy!
135:4  For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his treasured possession.
135:5  For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.
135:6  Whatever the Lord desires he does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.
135:7  It is he who raises storm clouds from the end of the earth, makes lightning for the rain, and brings forth wind from his storehouse.
135:8  He struck down Egypt’s firstborn, of human being and beast alike,
135:9  And sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
135:10  It is he who struck down many nations, and slew mighty kings—
135:11  Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, all the kings of Canaan—
135:12  And made their land a heritage, a heritage for Israel his people.
135:13  O Lord, your name is forever, your renown, from generation to generation!
135:14  For the Lord defends his people, shows mercy to his servants.
135:15  The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
135:16  They have mouths but do not speak; they have eyes but do not see;
135:17  They have ears but do not hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.
135:18  Their makers will become like them, and anyone who trusts in them.
135:19  House of Israel, bless the Lord! House of Aaron, bless the Lord!
135:20  House of Levi, bless the Lord! You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
135:21  Blessed be the Lord from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
