# Chapter 135
|
|
1 Praise the Lord!
|
|
Praise the name of the Lord,
|
|
give praise, O 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 to his name, for it is pleasant!
|
|
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
|
|
Israel as his own possession.
|
|
5 For I know that the Lord is great,
|
|
and that our Lord is above all gods.
|
|
6 Whatever the Lord pleases, he does,
|
|
in heaven and on earth,
|
|
in the seas and all deeps.
|
|
7 He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
|
|
who makes lightnings for the rain
|
|
and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
|
|
8 He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
|
|
both of man and of beast;
|
|
9 who in your midst, O Egypt,
|
|
sent signs and wonders
|
|
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
|
|
10 who struck down many nations
|
|
and killed mighty kings,
|
|
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites,
|
|
and Og, king of Bashan,
|
|
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
|
|
12 and gave their land as a heritage,
|
|
a heritage to his people Israel.
|
|
13 Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
|
|
your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.
|
|
14 For the Lord will vindicate his people
|
|
and have compassion on his servants.
|
|
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
|
|
the work of human hands.
|
|
16 They have mouths, but do not speak;
|
|
they have eyes, but do not see;
|
|
17 they have ears, but do not hear,
|
|
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
|
|
18 Those who make them become like them,
|
|
so do all who trust in them.
|
|
19 O house of Israel, bless the Lord!
|
|
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
|
|
20 O house of Levi, bless the Lord!
|
|
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
|
|
21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion,
|
|
he who dwells in Jerusalem!
|
|
Praise the Lord! |
