Psalm 135

Revised Geneva Translation

135 Praise the Name of the LORD, you servants of the LORD! Praise,

² you who stand in the House of the LORD and in the courts of the House of our God!

³ Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good! Sing praises to His Name; for it is a sweet thing.

⁴ For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself and Israel for His chief treasure.

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

⁶ Whatever pleased the LORD, He did in Heaven and on Earth, in the sea and in all the depths.

⁷ He brings up the clouds from the ends of the Earth and makes the lightning with the rain. He draws forth the wind out of His treasures.

⁸ He struck the firstborn of Egypt (of both man and beast).

⁹ He has sent signs and wonders into the midst of You, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.

¹⁰ He struck many nations and slew mighty Kings—

¹¹ Sihon, King of the Amorites and Og, King of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan—

¹² and gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel, His people.

¹³ Your Name, O LORD, endures forever! O LORD, Your remembrance is from generation to generation.

¹⁴ For the LORD will judge His people and be pacified toward His servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

¹⁶ They have a mouth and do not speak. They have eyes and do not see.

¹⁷ They have ears and do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouth.

¹⁸ Those who make them are like them, all who trust in them.

¹⁹ Praise the LORD, you House of Israel! Praise the LORD, you House of Aaron!

²⁰ Praise the LORD, you House of Levi! You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD!

²¹ Praise the LORD out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
