Psalm 135

Your Name, O LORD, Endures Forever

¹ Praise the LORD!Praise the name of the LORD,

give praise, O servants of the LORD,

²who 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 to his name, for it is pleasant!

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.

⁶ Whatever the LORD pleases, he does,

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all deeps.

⁷ He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,

who makes lightnings for the rain

and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

⁸He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,

both of man and of beast;

⁹who in your midst, O Egypt,

sent signs and wonders

against Pharaoh and all his servants;

¹⁰ who struck down many nations

and killed mighty kings,

¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites,

and Og, king of Bashan,

and all the kingdoms of Canaan,

¹²and gave their land as a heritage,

a heritage to his people Israel.

¹³ Your name, O LORD, endures forever,

your renown, O LORD, throughout all ages.

¹⁴ For the LORD will vindicate his people

and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

the work of human hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but do not speak;

they have eyes, but do not see;

¹⁷they have ears, but do not hear,

nor is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸Those who make them become like them,

so do all who trust in them!

¹⁹ O house of Israel, bless the LORD!

O house of Aaron, bless the LORD!

²⁰O house of Levi, bless the LORD!

You who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

²¹Blessed be the LORD from Zion,

he who dwells in Jerusalem!

Praise the LORD!
