Psalm 135 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Psa 135:1Praise the LORD!
Praise the name of the LORD!
Praise him, you who serve the LORD,
Psa 135:2you who serve in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.
Psa 135:3Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
celebrate his lovely name with music.
Psa 135:4For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel for his own special treasure.
Psa 135:5I know the greatness of the LORD
that our Lord is greater than any other god.
Psa 135:6The LORD does whatever pleases him
throughout all heaven and earth,
and on the seas and in their depths.
Psa 135:7He causes the clouds to rise over the whole earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from his storehouses.
Psa 135:8He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home,
both people and animals.
Psa 135:9He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt
against Pharaoh and all his people.
Psa 135:10He struck down great nations
and slaughtered mighty kings—
Psa 135:11Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.
Psa 135:12He gave their land as an inheritance,
a special possession to his people Israel.
Psa 135:13Your name, O LORD, endures forever;
your fame, O LORD, is known to every generation.
Psa 135:14For the LORD will give justice to his people
and have compassion on his servants.
Psa 135:15The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold,
shaped by human hands.
Psa 135:16They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
Psa 135:17They have ears but cannot hear,
and noses but cannot smell.
Psa 135:18And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.
Psa 135:19O Israel, praise the LORD!
O priests—descendants of Aaron—praise the LORD!
Psa 135:20O Levites, praise the LORD!
All you who fear the LORD, praise the LORD!
Psa 135:21The LORD be praised from Zion,
for he lives here in Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
