Psalm 135 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

Praise the LORD’S Wonderful Works. Vanity of Idols.

Psa 135:1

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)

Praise the name of the LORD;

Praise Him, O servants of the LORD (priests, Levites),

Psa 135:2

You who stand in the house of the LORD,

In the courts of the house of our God,

Psa 135:3

Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;

Sing praises to His name, for it is gracious and lovely.

Psa 135:4

For the LORD has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself,

Israel for His own special treasure and possession.

Psa 135:5

For I know that the LORD is great

And that our Lord is above all gods.

Psa 135:6

Whatever the LORD pleases, He does,

In the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps—

Psa 135:7

Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth;

Who makes lightning for the rain,

Who brings the wind from His storehouses;

Psa 135:8

Who struck the firstborn of Egypt,

Both of man and animal;

Psa 135:9

Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,

Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

Psa 135:10

Who struck many nations

And killed mighty kings,

Psa 135:11

Sihon, king of the Amorites,

Og, king of Bashan,

And all the kingdoms of Canaan;

Psa 135:12

And He gave their land as a heritage,

A heritage to Israel His people.

Psa 135:13

Your name, O LORD, endures forever,

Your fame and remembrance, O LORD, [endures] throughout all generations.

Psa 135:14

For the LORD will judge His people

And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy].

Psa 135:15

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The work of men’s hands.

Psa 135:16

They have mouths, but they do not speak;

They have eyes, but they do not see;

Psa 135:17

They have ears, but they do not hear,

Nor is there any breath in their mouths.

Psa 135:18

Those who make idols are like them [absolutely worthless—spiritually blind, deaf, and powerless];

So is everyone who trusts in and relies on them.

Psa 135:19

O house of Israel, bless and praise the LORD [with gratitude];

O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

Psa 135:20

O house of Levi, bless the LORD;

You who fear the LORD [and worship Him with obedience], bless the LORD [with grateful praise]!

Psa 135:21

Blessed be the LORD from Zion,

Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem.

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
