OTNT

Ps 135


135:1 Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, you servants of the LORD,

135:2 you who minister in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

135:3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.

135:5 I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.

135:6 The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.

135:7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

135:8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of men and animals.

135:9 He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

135:10 He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings–

135:11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan and all the kings of Canaan–

135:12 and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.

135:13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

135:14 For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.

135:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

135:16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;

135:17 they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.

135:18 Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.

135:19 O house of Israel, praise the LORD; O house of Aaron, praise the LORD;

135:20 O house of Levi, praise the LORD; you who fear him, praise the LORD.

135:21 Praise be to the LORD from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD.

135:1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; / Praise Him, you servants of Jehovah,

135:2 Who stand in the house of Jehovah, / In the courts of the house of our God.

135:3 Praise Jehovah, for Jehovah is good; / Sing psalms to His name, for it is pleasant.

135:4 For Jehovah has chosen Jacob for Himself, / Israel for His personal treasure.

135:5 For I know that Jehovah is great / And that our Lord is above all gods.

135:6 Whatever Jehovah pleases He does / In heaven and on earth, / In the seas and all the depths.

135:7 He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; / He makes lightning for the rain; / He brings forth wind from His treasuries.

135:8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, / Both of man and of beast.

135:9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, / Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

135:10 He struck many nations / And slew mighty kings:

135:11 Sihon the king of the Amorites / And Og the king of Bashan / And all the kingdoms of Canaan.

135:12 And He gave their land as an inheritance, / An inheritance to Israel His people.

135:13 O Jehovah, Your name is forever; / O Jehovah, Your memorial is from generation to generation.

135:14 For Jehovah will execute judgment for His people, / And He will have compassion concerning His servants.

135:15 The idols of the nations are mere silver and gold, / The work of human hands.

135:16 They have mouths, but they do not speak; / They have eyes, but they do not see.

135:17 They have ears, but they do not give ear; / And there is no breath in their mouths.

135:18 Those who make them, / All who trust in them, / Will be like them.

135:19 O house of Israel, bless Jehovah. / O house of Aaron, bless Jehovah.

135:20 O house of Levi, bless Jehovah. / O you who fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

135:21 Blessed be Jehovah from Zion, / Who dwells in Jerusalem. / Hallelujah.
