Psalm
Chapters 135
Amplified Bible
1PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the name of the Lord; praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
2You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
3Praise the Lord! For the Lord is good; sing praises to His name, for He is gracious and lovely!
4For the Lord has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar possession and treasure. [Deut. 7:6.]
5For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatever the Lord pleases, that has He done in the heavens and on earth, in the seas and all deeps–
7Who causes the vapors to arise from the ends of the earth, Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings the wind out of His storehouses;
8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; [Exod. 12:12, 29; Ps. 78:51; 136:10.]
9Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants;
10Who smote nations many and great and slew mighty kings–
11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12[The Lord] gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel His people.
13Your name, O Lord, endures forever, Your fame, O Lord, throughout all ages.
14For the Lord will judge and vindicate His people, and He will delay His judgments [manifesting His righteousness and mercy] and take into favor His servants [those who meet His terms of separation unto Him]. [Heb. 10:30.]
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16[Idols] have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make [idols] are like them; so is everyone who trusts in and relies on them. [Ps. 115:4-8.]
19Bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron [God's ministers].
20Bless the Lord, O house of Levi [the dedicated tribe]; you who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, bless the Lord [affectionately and gratefully praise Him]! [Deut. 6:5; Ps. 31:23.]
21Blessed out of Zion be the Lord, Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
