Psalms 135
135
His Wonderful Works
A song of the stairway
1Shout hallelujah and praise the greatness of God!
All his righteous ones, praise him!
2All you worshiping priests on duty in the temple,
3praise him, for he is beautiful!
Sing loving praises to his lovely name.
4For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for his own purpose,
and Israel is his special treasure.
5Next to every other god, the greatness of our God is unequaled.
For our God is incomparable!
6He does what he pleases with unlimited power and authority,
extending his greatness throughout the entire universe!
7He forms the misty clouds and creates thunder and lightning,
bringing the wind and rain out of his heavenly storehouse.
8He struck down the eldest child in each Egyptian home;
both man and beast perished that night.
9He did great miracles—mighty signs and wonders throughout the land
before Pharaoh and all his subjects.
10He conquered many nations and killed their mighty kings,
11like Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan,
and kings from every kingdom in Canaan.
12He gave their land to Israel as an inheritance for his people.
13O Yahweh, your name endures forever!
Your fame is known in every generation.
14For you will vindicate your persecuted people,
showing your tender love to all your servants.
15The unbelieving nations worship what they make.
They worship their wealth and their work.
They idolize what they own and what they do.
16-18Their possessions will never satisfy.
Their lifeless and futile works cannot bring life to them!
Their things can’t talk to them or answer their prayers.
Blind men can only create blind things.
Those deaf to God can only make a deaf image. # 135:16–18 Referring to the idols, the Hebrew could be translated “with mouths, but they cannot speak; with eyes, but they cannot see; with ears, but they cannot hear.”
Dead men can only create dead idols.
And everyone who trusts in these powerless, dead things
will be just like what they worship—powerless and dead!
19Praise Lord Yahweh, all the families of Israel!
Praise Lord Yahweh, you family of Aaron! # 135:19 The name Aaron means “light-bringer” or “light-bearer.”
20Let all the priests # 135:20 Or “all the family of Levi.” Levi represents the holy priesthood. bless Lord Yahweh!
Let all his lovers who bow low before him # 135:20 Or “those who fear him.”
praise the Lord Yahweh!
21So bless the Lord Yahweh who lives in Jerusalem
and dwells in Zion’s glory!
Hallelujah and praise the Lord!

Psalm 135
1¶ Halelu-JAH. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye slaves of the Lord.
2Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God,
3praise JAH; for the Lord is good; sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4For JAH has chosen Jacob unto himself and Israel for his own possession.
5¶ For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatever the Lord desired, he did in the heavens and in the earth, in the seas and in all the deep places.
7He who causes the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth, made the lightnings in the rain; he who brings the winds out of his treasuries.
8He who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his slaves.
10He who smote many Gentiles and slew mighty kings,
11Sihon king of the Amorites and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan
12gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel his people.
13Thy name, O Lord, is eternal, and thy memorial, O Lord, from generation to generation.
14For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his slaves.
15¶ The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
16They have a mouth, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see;
17they have ears, but they do not hear; neither is there any spirit in their mouths.
18 Let those that make them become like unto them and every one that trusts in them.
19Bless the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
20Bless the Lord, O house of Levi; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21Blessed be the Lord out of Zion who dwells at Jerusalem. Halelu-JAH.
