Psalms Chapter 135 - Revised Standard Version

^1. Praise the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O servants of the LORD,

^2. you that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God!

^3. Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing to his name, for he is gracious!

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

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

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

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

^8. He it was who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of beast;

^9. who in thy midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;

^10. who smote 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 as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.

^13. Thy name, O LORD, endures for ever, thy renown, O LORD, throughout all ages.

^14. For the LORD will vindicate his people, and have compassion on his servants.

^15. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

^16. They have mouths, but they speak not, they have eyes, but they see not,

^17. they have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.

^18. Like them be those who make them! --yea, every one who trusts in them!

^19. O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!

^20. O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

^21. Blessed be the LORD from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!
