Psalms 135

2ye His servants, who wait in the house of the Lord—in the courts of the house of our God.

3Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good; with instruments of music praise His name; for it is good.

4For the Lord hath made choice of Jacob for Himself—of Israel for His peculiar treasure.

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

6All that the Lord pleased He hath done in heaven and on earth: in the seas and in all the deeps.

7When He brought clouds from the end of the earth; He made lightnings for the purpose of rain. He it is Who bringeth winds out of His treasuries:

8Who smote the first-born of Egypt—the first-born both of man and beast.

9Amidst thee, Egypt, He sent His signs and wonders, on Pharao and on all His servants.

10It was He Who smote many nations; and slew kings of mighty power—

11Seon king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan;

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

13O Lord, Thy name is forever, and the memorial of Thee to all generations;

14for the Lord will judge His people, and take comfort in His servants.

15The idols of the nations are gold and silver—the workmanship of men’s hands.

16They have a mouth, but cannot speak: eyes they have, but they cannot see;

17they have ears, but they cannot hear; nor is there any breath in their mouth.

18May they who make them be like them; and all they who have trusted in them.

19O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord: bless the Lord ye of the house of Aaron.

20O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; bless Him, ye who fear the Lord.

21Blessed be the Lord in Sion—He Who inhabiteth Jerusalem.
