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!

1Halleluyah!
Give praise to the name of Adonai!
Servants of Adonai, give praise!
2You who stand in the house of Adonai,
in the courtyards of the house of our God,
3praise Yah, for Adonai is good;
sing to his name, because it is pleasant.
4For Yah chose Ya‘akov for himself,
Isra’el as his own unique treasure.
5I know that Adonai is great,
that our Lord is above all gods.
6Adonai does whatever pleases him,
in heaven, on earth, in the seas, in all the depths.
7He raises clouds from the ends of the earth,
he makes the lightning flash in the rain
and brings the wind out from his storehouses.
8He struck down Egypt’s firstborn,
humans and animals alike.
9He sent signs and wonders among you, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his subjects.
10He struck many nations,
and slaughtered mighty kings —
11Sichon king of the Emori,
‘Og king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Kena‘an.
12Then he gave their land as a heritage,
to be possessed by Isra’el his people.
13Adonai, your name continues forever,
your renown, Adonai, through all generations.
14For Adonai will vindicate his people,
he will take pity on his servants.
15The idols of the nations are mere silver and gold,
made by human hands.
16They have mouths, but they can’t speak;
they have eyes, but they can’t see;
17they have ears, but they can’t listen;
and they have no breath in their mouths;
18The people who make them will become like them,
along with everyone who trusts in them.
19House of Isra’el, bless Adonai!
House of Aharon, bless Adonai!
20House of Levi, bless Adonai!
You who fear Adonai, bless Adonai!
21Blessed be Adonai out of Tziyon,
he who dwells in Yerushalayim!
Halleluyah!
