| Chapter 135 |
1 |
Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
|
2 |
You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,
|
3 |
Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.
|
4 |
For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.
|
5 |
I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.
|
6 |
The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.
|
7 |
He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.
|
8 |
He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.
|
9 |
He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.
|
10 |
He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;
|
11 |
Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
|
12 |
And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.
|
13 |
O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.
|
14 |
For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.
|
15 |
The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
|
16 |
They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;
|
17 |
They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.
|
18 |
Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.
|
19 |
Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:
|
20 |
Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.
|
21 |
Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
