OEB - Psalms - 135

135:1  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,

135:2  who stand 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 it is pleasant.

135:4  The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.

135:5  For I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

135:6  All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.

135:7  Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.

135:8  The first-born of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.

135:9  Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

135:10  Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew

135:11  Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

135:12  He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.

135:13  Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.

135:14  For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.

135:15  The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.

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

135:17  They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.

135:18  Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.

135:19  House of Israel, bless the Lord: house of Araon, bless the Lord.

135:20  House of Levi, bless the Lord: you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

135:21  Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
