135:10 He defeated <05221> many <07227> nations <01471>, and killed <02026> mighty <06099> kings <04428>– 135:11 Sihon <05511>, king <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, and Og <05747>, king <04428> of Bashan <01316>, and all <03605> the kingdoms <04467> of Canaan <03667>. 135:12 He gave <05414> their land <0776> as an inheritance <05159>, as an inheritance <05159> to Israel <03478> his people <05971>. 135:13 O Lord <03068>, your name <08034> endures <05769>, your reputation <02143>, O Lord <03068>, lasts <01755> <01755>. 135:14 For <03588> the Lord <03068> vindicates <01777> his people <05971>, and has compassion <05162> on <05921> his servants <05650>. 135:15 The nations <01471>’ idols <06091> are made of silver <03701> and gold <02091>, they are man-made <0120> <03027> <04639>. 135:16 They <01992> have mouths <06310>, but cannot <03808> speak <01696>, eyes <05869>, but cannot <03808> see <07200>, 135:17 and ears <0241>, but cannot <03808> hear <0238>. Indeed <0637>, they <01992> cannot <0369> breathe <07307>. 135:18 Those who make <06213> them will end up <01961> like <03644> them, as will everyone <03605> who <0834> trusts <0982> in them. 135:19 O family <01004> of Israel <03478>, praise <01288> the Lord <03068>! O family <01004> of Aaron <0175>, praise <01288> the Lord <03068>! 135:20 O family <01004> of Levi <03878>, praise <01288> the Lord <03068>! You loyal followers <03373> of the Lord <03068>, praise <01288> the Lord <03068>! 135:21 The Lord <03068> deserves praise <01288> in Zion <06726>– he who dwells <07931> in Jerusalem <03389>. Praise <01984> the Lord <03050>!
