Psalms 135:1-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 135
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord; Praise Him, you servants of the Lord, 2You who stand in the house of the Lord, In the courtyards of the house of our God! 3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is lovely. 4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His own possession. 5For I know that the Lord is great And that our Lord is above all gods. 6Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and on earth, in the seas and in all the ocean depths. 7 He causes the mist to ascend from the ends of the earth, He makes lightning for the rain; He brings forth the wind from His treasuries. 8 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both human firstborn and animal. 9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. 10 He struck many nations And brought death to mighty kings, 11Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan; 12And He gave their land as an inheritance, An inheritance to His people Israel. 13Your name, Lord, is everlasting, The mention of You, Lord, is throughout all generations. 14For the Lord will judge His people And will have compassion on His servants. 15The idols of the nations are nothing but silver and gold, The work of human hands. 16They have mouths, but they do not speak; They have eyes, but they do not see; 17They have ears, but they do not hear, Nor is there any breath at all in their mouths. 18Those who make them will become like them, Yes, everyone who trusts in them. 19House of Israel, bless the Lord; House of Aaron, bless the Lord; 20House of Levi, bless the Lord; You who revere the Lord, bless the Lord.King James Version
Chapter 135
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD. 2Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, 3Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.
5For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
7He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
9Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:
12And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
13Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.
14For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
15The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
17They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
19Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
20Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

5I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.
7He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of people and animals.
9He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
