LEB - Psalms - 135

135:1  Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, O servants of Yahweh,

135:2  who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of the house of our God.

135:3  Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good. Sing praises concerning his name, for it is pleasant.

135:4  For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his special possession.

135:5  For I know that Yahweh is great, and our Lord is greater than all gods.

135:6  All that Yahweh desires, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.

135:7  He causes clouds to rise from the edge of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings out the wind from his storehouses.

135:8  Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of humans and animals.

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

135:10  Who struck many nations and killed 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 for his people Israel.

135:13  O Yahweh, your name endures forever, your ⌞renown⌟ ⌞throughout all generations⌟,

135:14  for Yahweh will plead the cause of his people and will have compassion on his servants.

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

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

135:17  they have ears, but cannot hear; there is not even breath in their mouths.

135:18  Those who make them become like them, as does everyone who trusts in them.

135:19  O house of Israel, bless Yahweh. O house of Aaron, bless Yahweh.

135:20  O house of Levi, bless Yahweh. You who fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh.

135:21  Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise Yah!
