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