Psalm 135 - ESV Bible - Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give...

1 ¹Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O ²servants of the LORD,

2 who ³stand in the house of the LORD, in ⁴the courts of the house of our God!

3 Praise the LORD, for ⁵the LORD is good; sing to his name, ⁶for it is pleasant!^a

4 For the LORD has ⁷chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his ⁸own possession.

5 For I know that ⁹the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 ¹⁰Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.

7 ¹¹He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who ¹²makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his ¹³storehouses.

8 He it was who ¹⁴struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast;

9 who in your midst, O Egypt, sent ¹⁵signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;

10 ¹⁶who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings,

11 ¹⁷Sihon, king of the Amorites, and ¹⁸Og, king of Bashan, and ¹⁹all the kingdoms of Canaan,

12 and ²⁰gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.

13 ²¹Your name, O LORD, endures forever, ²²your renown,^b O LORD, throughout all ages.

14 ²³For the LORD will vindicate his people and ²⁴have compassion on his servants.

15 ²⁵The 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 ²⁶O 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 ²⁷from Zion, he who ²⁸dwells in Jerusalem! ²⁹Praise the LORD!
