In the courts of the house of our God.

Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

And Israel for his own possession.

For I know that Jehovah is great,
And that our Lord is above all gods.
Psa 135:6
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
Psa 135:7
Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
Who maketh lightnings for the rain;
Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;
Psa 135:8
Who smote the first-born of Egypt,
Both of man and beast;
Psa 135:9
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,
Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
Psa 135:10
Who smote many nations,
And slew mighty kings,
Psa 135:11
Sihon king of the Amorites,
And Og king of Bashan,
And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
Psa 135:12
And gave their land for a heritage,
A heritage unto Israel his people.

Thy name, O Jehovah, endureth for ever;
Thy memorial name, O Jehovah, throughout all generations.

And repent himself concerning his servants.
Psa 135:15
The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes have they, but they see not;

They have ears, but they hear not;
Neither is there any breath in their mouths.

They that make them shall be like unto them;
Yea, every one that trusteth in them.

Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.

Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
Praise ye Jehovah.
