135:2 Yes, let his people praise him as they stand in his Temple courts.
135:3 Praise the Lord because he is so good; sing to his wonderful name.
135:4 For the Lord has chosen Israel as his personal possession.
135:5 I know the greatness of the Lord—that he is greater far than any other god.
135:6 He does whatever pleases him throughout all of heaven and earth and in the deepest seas.
135:7 He makes mists rise throughout the earth; he sends the lightning to bring down the rain and sends the winds from his treasuries.
135:8 He destroyed the eldest child in each Egyptian home, along with the firstborn of the flocks.
135:9 He did great miracles in Egypt before Pharaoh and all his people.
135:10 He smote great nations, slaying mighty kings—
135:11 Sihon, king of Amorites; and Og, the king of Bashan; and the kings of Canaan—
135:12 and gave their land as an eternal gift to his people Israel.
135:13 O Jehovah, your name endures forever; your fame is known to every generation.
135:14 For Jehovah will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.
135:15 The heathen worship idols of gold and silver made by men—
135:16 idols with speechless mouths, sightless eyes,
135:17 and ears that cannot hear; they cannot even breathe.
135:18 Those who make them become like them! And so do all who trust in them!
135:19 O Israel, bless Jehovah! High Priests of Aaron, bless his name.
135:20 O Levite priests, bless the Lord Jehovah! Oh, bless his name, all of you who trust and reverence him.
135:21 All people of Jerusalem, praise the Lord, for he lives here in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
