AMP ▾Psalms ▾135 ▾Psalms 1351Praise the L ord ! (Hallelujah!) Praise the name of the L ord ; Praise Him, O servants of the L ord (priests, Levites),2You who stand in the house of the L ord , In the courts of the house of our God,3Praise the L ord , for the L ord is good; Sing praises to His name, for it is gracious and lovely.4For the L ord has chosen [the descendants of] Jacob for Himself, Israel for His own special treasure and possession. [Deut 7:6]5¶For I know that the L ord is great And that our Lord is above all gods.6Whatever the L ord pleases, He does, In the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps—7Who causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; Who makes lightning for the rain, Who brings the wind from His storehouses;8¶Who struck the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and animal; [Ex 12:12, 29; Ps 78:51; 136:10]9Who sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants.10Who struck many nations And killed mighty kings,11Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan;12And He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people.13Your name, O L ord , endures forever, Your fame and remembrance, O L ord , [endures] throughout all generations.14For the L ord will judge His people And He will have compassion on His servants [revealing His mercy]. [Heb 10:30]15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s 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 in their mouths.18Those who make idols are like them [absolutely worthless—spiritually blind, deaf, and powerless]; So is everyone who trusts in and relies on them. [Ps 115:4-8]19¶O house of Israel, bless and praise the L ord [with gratitude]; O house of Aaron, bless the L ord ;20O house of Levi, bless the L ord ; You who fear the L ord [and worship Him with obedience], bless the L ord [with grateful praise]! [Deut 6:5; Ps 31:23]21Blessed be the L ord from Zion, Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem. Praise the L ord ! (Hallelujah!)Psalms 134Psalms 136
