1.7 KiB
Psalm 135The Lord Is Great
- Hallelujah! Praise the name of the Lord.
Give praise, you servants of the Lord
-
who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for it is delightful.
-
For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his treasured possession.
-
For I know that the Lord is great; our Lord is greater than all gods.
-
The Lord does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.
-
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.
-
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both people and animals.
-
He sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his officials.
-
He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:
-
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.
-
He gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.
-
Lord, your name endures forever, your reputation, Lord, through all generations.
-
For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
-
The idols of the nations are of silver and gold, made by human hands.
-
They have mouths but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.
-
They have ears but cannot hear; indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.
-
Those who make them are just like them, as are all who trust in them.
-
House of Israel, bless the Lord! House of Aaron, bless the Lord!
-
House of Levi, bless the Lord! You who revere the Lord, bless the Lord!
-
Blessed be the Lord from Zion; he dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
