Psalm 135 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

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

Psa 135:1[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!
Praise the name of the LORD;
Praise Him, O servants of the LORD,
Psa 135:2You who stand in the house of the LORD,
In the courts of the house of our God!
Psa 135:3[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD, for the LORD is good;
Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.
Psa 135:4For [fn]the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His [fn]own possession.
Psa 135:5For I know that the LORD is great
And that our Lord is above all gods.
Psa 135:6Whatever the LORD pleases, He does,
In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
Psa 135:7[fn]He causes the [fn]vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth;
Who makes lightnings for the rain,
Who brings forth the wind from His treasuries.
Psa 135:8[fn]He smote the firstborn of Egypt,
[fn]Both of man and beast.
Psa 135:9[fn]He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.
Psa 135:10[fn]He smote many nations
And slew mighty kings,
Psa 135:11Sihon, king of the Amorites,
And Og, king of Bashan,
And all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Psa 135:12And He gave their land as a heritage,
A heritage to Israel His people.
Psa 135:13Your name, O LORD, is everlasting,
Your [fn]remembrance, O LORD, [fn]throughout all generations.
Psa 135:14For the LORD will judge His people
And will have compassion on His servants.
Psa 135:15The idols of the nations are but silver and gold,
The work of man’s hands.
Psa 135:16They have mouths, but they do not speak;
They have eyes, but they do not see;
Psa 135:17They have ears, but they do not hear,
Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths.
Psa 135:18Those who make them will be like them,
Yes, everyone who trusts in them.
Psa 135:19O house of Israel, bless the LORD;
O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;
Psa 135:20O house of Levi, bless the LORD;
You who [fn]revere the LORD, bless the LORD.
Psa 135:21Blessed be the LORD from Zion,
Who dwells in Jerusalem.
[fn]Praise [fn]the LORD!
