Psalms 135:5-20

⁵I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.

⁶The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.

⁷He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.

⁸He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.

⁹He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

¹⁰He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as

¹¹Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.

¹²He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.

¹³Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.

¹⁴The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.

¹⁵The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.

¹⁶They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.

¹⁷They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!

¹⁸Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.

¹⁹People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!

²⁰Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
