Psalms 135:1-12

Psalm 135

Praise the Lord.135:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verses 3 and 21

Praise the name of the Lord;

praise him, you servants of the Lord,

you who minister in the house of the Lord,

in the courts of the house of our God.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;

sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.

For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own,

Israel to be his treasured possession.

I know that the Lord is great,

that our Lord is greater than all gods.

The Lord does whatever pleases him,

in the heavens and on the earth,

in the seas and all their depths.

He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;

he sends lightning with the rain

and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,

the firstborn of people and animals.

He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt,

against Pharaoh and all his servants.

He struck down many nations

and killed mighty kings—

Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

and all the kings of Canaan—

and he gave their land as an inheritance,

an inheritance to his people Israel.
