Psalm, 135

¹ Praise Jah!^*1 Praise the name of Jehovah; Offer praise, you servants of Jehovah,

² You who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courtyards of the house of our God.

³ Praise Jah, for Jehovah is good. Sing praises^*1 to his name, for it is pleasant.

⁴ For Jah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his special property.^*1

⁵ For I well know that Jehovah is great; Our Lord is greater than all other gods.

⁶ Jehovah does everything he pleases to do In heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.

⁷ He causes clouds^*1 to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for^*2 the rain; He brings the wind out of his storehouses.

⁸ He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, Both man and beast.

⁹ He sent signs and miracles among you, O Egypt, Against Pharʹaoh and all his servants.

¹⁰ He struck down many nations And killed mighty kings

¹¹ —Siʹhon the king of the Amʹor·ites, Og the king of Baʹshan, And all the kingdoms of Caʹnaan.

¹² He gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to Israel his people.

¹³ O Jehovah, your name endures forever. O Jehovah, your fame^*1 endures for all generations.

¹⁴ For Jehovah will defend^*1 his people, And he will feel compassion^*2 for his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of human hands.

¹⁶ A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes, but they cannot see;

¹⁷ Ears they have, but they cannot hear. There is no breath in their mouth.

¹⁸ The people who make them will become just like them, As will all those who trust in them.

¹⁹ O house of Israel, praise Jehovah. O house of Aaron, praise Jehovah.

²⁰ O house of Leʹvi, praise Jehovah. You who fear Jehovah, praise Jehovah.

²¹ May Jehovah be praised from Zion, The One residing in Jerusalem. Praise Jah!
