Psalms 135

1Praise Yah! Praise the name of Yahweh; praise, servants of Yahweh,

2who stand in the house of Yahweh, in the courts of the house of our God.

3Praise Yah, for Yahweh is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant.

4For Yah has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his treasured possession.

5For I know that Yahweh is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

6Yahweh does whatever he pleases, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.

7He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings out the wind from his storehouses.

8who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, from man to beast.

9He sent signs and wonders in your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10who struck many nations and killed mighty kings,

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

12And he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13Yahweh, your name endures forever; Yahweh, your renown endures from generation to generation.

14For Yahweh will vindicate his people, and he will have compassion on his servants.

15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

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

17They have ears, but they do not hear; indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.

18Those who make them will become like them, everyone who trusts in them.

19House of Israel, bless Yahweh; house of Aaron, bless Yahweh.

20House of Levi, bless Yahweh; you who fear Yahweh, bless Yahweh.

21Blessed be Yahweh from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
