Psalms 135

1Hallelujah! Praise the name of Yahweh. Give praise, O servants of Yahweh,

2who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of the house of our God.

3Hallelujah, for Yahweh is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

4For Yah has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

5For I know that Yahweh is great; our Lord is above all gods.

6Yahweh does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

7He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.

9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

12He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

13Your name, O Yahweh, endures forever, Your renown, O Yahweh, through all generations.

14For Yahweh will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.

15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

16They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

17they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

18Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

19O house of Israel, bless Yahweh; O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh;

20O house of Levi, bless Yahweh; you who fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh!

21Blessed be Yahweh from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
