Psalms 135 — AAB
Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD
135Verse 1Hallelujah!+Praise the name of the LORD.Give praise, O servants of the LORD,Verse 2who stand in the house of the LORD,in the courts of the house of our God.Verse 3Hallelujah, for the LORD is good;sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.Verse 4For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own,Israel as His treasured possession.Verse 5For I know that the LORD is great;our Lord is above all gods.Verse 6The LORD does all that pleases Himin the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and in all their depths.Verse 7He causes the clouds to risefrom the ends of the earth.He generates the lightning with the rainand brings forth the wind from His storehouses.Verse 8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,of both man and beast.Verse 9He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,against Pharaoh and all his servants.Verse 10He struck down many nationsand slaughtered mighty kings:Verse 11Sihon king of the Amorites,Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.Verse 12He gave their land as an inheritance,as a heritage to His people Israel.Verse 13Your name, O LORD, endures forever,Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.Verse 14For the LORD will vindicate His people+and will have compassion on His servants.Verse 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,made by the hands of men.Verse 16They have mouths, but cannot speak;they have eyes, but cannot see;Verse 17they have ears, but cannot hear;nor is there breath in their mouths.Verse 18Those who make them become like them,as do all who trust in them.Verse 19O house of Israel, bless the LORD;O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;Verse 20O house of Levi, bless the LORD;you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!Verse 21Blessed be the LORD from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem.
Hallelujah!
