Psalms 135
Psalm 135
The Lord Is Great
1Hallelujah! Praise the name of the Lord. Give praise, you servants of the Lord23who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.4
5Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for it is delightful.6
7For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his treasured possession.8
9For I know that the Lord is great; our Lord is greater than all gods.10
11The Lord does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.12
13He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings the wind from his storehouses.14
15He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both people and animals.16
17He sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his officials.18
19He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:20
21Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.22
23He gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.24
25Lord, your name endures forever, your reputation, Lord, through all generations.26
27For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.28
29The idols of the nations are of silver and gold, made by human hands.30
31They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.32
33They have ears but cannot hear; indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.34
35Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.36
37House of Israel, bless the Lord! House of Aaron, bless the Lord!38
39House of Levi, bless the Lord! You who revere the Lord, bless the Lord!40
41Blessed be the Lord from Zion; he dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!42
