Psalm 135

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ For I know that ^(I)the Lord is great
And that our Lord is ^(J)above all gods.
^6 (K)Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
^7 [g]He ^(L)causes the ^[h]vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
Who ^(M)makes lightnings for the rain,
Who ^(N)brings forth the wind from His treasuries.

^8 [i]He ^(O)smote the firstborn of Egypt,
^[j]Both of man and beast.
^9 [k]He sent ^(P)signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
Upon ^(Q)Pharaoh and all his servants.
^10 [l](R)He ^(S)smote many nations
And slew mighty kings,
^11 (T)Sihon, king of the Amorites,
And ^(U)Og, king of Bashan,
And ^(V)all the kingdoms of Canaan;
¹² And He ^(W)gave their land as a heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.
¹³ Your ^(X)name, O Lord, is everlasting,
Your ^[m]remembrance, O Lord, ^[n]throughout all generations.
¹⁴ For the Lord will ^(Y)judge His people
And ^(Z)will have compassion on His servants.
¹⁵ The ^(AA)idols of the nations are but silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but they do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
¹⁷ They have ears, but they do not hear,
Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them will be like them,
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹ O house of ^(AB)Israel, bless the Lord;
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;
²⁰ O house of Levi, bless the Lord;
You ^(AC)who ^[o]revere the Lord, bless the Lord.
²¹ Blessed be the Lord ^(AD)from Zion,
Who ^(AE)dwells in Jerusalem.
^[p]Praise ^[q]the Lord!
