Psalms 135:1-15

¹Praise Yahweh. Praise the name of Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh,

²you who stand in Yahweh's house, in the courtyards of the house of our God.

³Praise Yahweh, for he is good; sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant to do so.

⁴For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his possession.

⁵I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

⁶Whatever Yahweh desires, he does in heaven, on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.

⁷He brings the clouds from far away, making lightning bolts accompany the rain and bringing the wind out of his storehouse.

⁸He killed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animals.

⁹He sent signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

¹⁰He attacked many nations and killed mighty kings,

¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

¹²He gave us their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

¹³Your name, Yahweh, endures forever; your renown, Yahweh, endures throughout all generations.

¹⁴For Yahweh defends his people and has compassion on his servants.

¹⁵The nations' idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
