Psalm 135

New Coverdale Version

O praise the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord; * offer praise, you servants of the Lord,

You who stand in the house of the Lord, * in the courts of the house of our God.

O praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; * sing praises unto his Name, for it is lovely.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself * and Israel for his own possession.

For I know that the Lord is great, * and that our Lord is above all gods.

Whatsoever the Lord pleases he does, in heaven and on earth, * in the seas and in all the deep places.

He brings forth clouds from the ends of the earth * and sends forth lightning with the rain, bringing the wind out of his treasuries.

It was he who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, * both of man and beast.

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O land of Egypt, * against Pharaoh and all his servants.

He smote many nations, * and slew mighty kings:

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan, * and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

And he gave their land to be an inheritance, * an inheritance for Israel his people.

Your Name, O Lord, endures for ever; * so does your renown, O Lord, from one generation to another.

For the Lord will avenge his people * and have compassion upon his servants.

As for the idols of the nations, they are but silver and gold, * the work of human hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not; * eyes have they, but they see not;

They have ears, and yet they hear not, * neither is there any breath in their mouths.

Those who make them are like them, * and so are all who put their trust in them.

Praise the Lord, O house of Israel; * praise the Lord, O house of Aaron.

Praise the Lord, O house of Levi; * you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

Praised be the Lord from Zion, * who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
