¹Praise the LORD ![#135:1 Hebrew: יה Yah]

Praise the LORD ’s name !

Praise him , you servants of the LORD ,

²you who stand in the LORD ’s house ,

in the courts of our God ’s house .

³Praise the LORD , for the LORD is good .[#135:3 Hebrew: יה Yah]

Sing praises to his name , for that is pleasant .

⁴For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,[#135:4 Hebrew: יה Yah]

Israel for his own possession .

⁵For I know that the LORD is great ,

that our Lord is above all gods.

⁶Whatever the LORD pleased , that he has done ,

in heaven and in earth , in the seas and in all deeps .

⁷He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth .

He makes lightnings with the rain .

He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

⁸He struck the firstborn of Egypt ,

both of man and animal.

⁹He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you , Egypt ,

on Pharaoh , and on all his servants .

¹⁰He struck many nations ,

and killed mighty kings —

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan ,

and all the kingdoms of Canaan —

¹²and gave their land for a heritage ,

a heritage to Israel , his people .

¹³Your name , LORD , endures forever ;

your renown , LORD , throughout all generations .

¹⁴For the LORD will judge his people

and have compassion on his servants .

¹⁵The idols of the nations are silver and gold ,

the work of men’s hands .

¹⁶They have mouths , but they can ’t speak .

They have eyes , but they can ’t see .

¹⁷They have ears, but they can ’t hear,

neither is there any breath in their mouths .

¹⁸Those who make them will be like them ,

yes, everyone who trusts in them .

¹⁹House of Israel , praise the LORD !

House of Aaron, praise the LORD !

²⁰House of Levi , praise the LORD !

You who fear the LORD , praise the LORD !

²¹Blessed be the LORD from Zion ,

who dwells in Jerusalem .

Praise the LORD !
