Psalm 135

Your Name, O LORD, Endures Forever

¹ Praise the LORD!Praise the name of the LORD,
give praise, O servants of the LORD,
²who stand in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God!
³Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing to his name, for it is pleasant!^[c]
⁴For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his own possession.

⁵For 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.

⁸He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;
⁹who in your midst, O Egypt,
sent signs and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
¹⁰ who struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings,
¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
¹²and gave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.

¹³ Your name, O LORD, endures forever,
your renown,^[d] 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 human hands.
¹⁶They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
¹⁷they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸Those who make them become like them,
so do all who trust in them!

¹⁹ O house of Israel, bless the LORD!
O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!
²⁰O house of Levi, bless the LORD!
You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
²¹Blessed be the LORD from Zion,
he who dwells in Jerusalem!
Praise the LORD!
