Strongs On/Off

Context

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. 135:15 The nations’ idols are made of silver and gold, they are man-made. 135:16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see, 135:17 and ears, but cannot hear. Indeed, they cannot breathe. 135:18 Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them. 135:19 O family of Israel, praise the Lord! O family of Aaron, praise the Lord! 135:20 O family of Levi, praise the Lord! You loyal followers of the Lord, praise the Lord! 135:21 The Lord deserves praise in Zion– he who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
