Psalms 135 / 150
- 1
(Your Name, O Lord, Endures Forever)
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!
