Psalm 135

135:1 Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord! Offer praise, you servants of the Lord, 135:2 who serve in the Lord’s temple, in the courts of the temple of our God. 135:3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good! Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant! 135:4 Indeed, the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his special possession. 135:5 Yes, I know the Lord is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods. 135:6 He does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths. 135:7 He causes the clouds to arise from the end of the earth, makes lightning bolts accompany the rain, and brings the wind out of his storehouses. 135:8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, including both men and animals. 135:9 He performed awesome deeds and acts of judgment in your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants. 135:10 He defeated many nations, and killed mighty kings– 135:11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan. 135:12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance to Israel his people. 135:13 O Lord, your name endures, your reputation, O Lord, lasts. 135:14 For the Lord vindicates his people, and has compassion on his servants.
