The Amplified Bible » Psalms » Chapter 135
1
PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise the name of the Lord; praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!
2
You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
3
Praise the Lord! For the Lord is good; sing praises to His name, for He is gracious and lovely!
4
For the Lord has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself, Israel for His peculiar possession and treasure. [Deut. 7:6.]
5
For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods.
6
Whatever the Lord pleases, that has He done in the heavens and on earth, in the seas and all deeps--
7
Who causes the vapors to arise from the ends of the earth, Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings the wind out of His storehouses;
8
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; [Exod. 12:12, 29; Ps. 78:51; 136:10.]
9
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants;
10
Who smote nations many and great and slew mighty kings--
11
Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12
[The Lord] gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel His people.
13
Your name, O Lord, endures forever, Your fame, O Lord, throughout all ages.
14
For the Lord will judge and vindicate His people, and He will delay His judgments [manifesting His righteousness and mercy] and take into favor His servants [those who meet His terms of separation unto Him]. [Heb. 10:30.]
15
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16
[Idols] have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17
They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18
Those who make [idols] are like them; so is everyone who trusts in and relies on them. [Ps. 115:4-8.]
19
Bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron [God's ministers].
20
Bless the Lord, O house of Levi [the dedicated tribe]; you who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, bless the Lord [affectionately and gratefully praise Him]! [Deut. 6:5; Ps. 31:23.]
21
Blessed out of Zion be the Lord, Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
