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!

1Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him. 2Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God, 3Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing. 4For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure. 5For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods. 6Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths. 7He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures. 8He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast. 9He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants. 10He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings: 11As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan: 12And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people. 13Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation. 14For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants. 15The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes. 16They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not. 17They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth. 18They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them. 19Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron. 20Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord. 21Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
