Psalms 135
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD! Praise him, you servants of the LORD,
- 2you who serve in the LORD’s Temple, in the courtyard of the Temple of our God.
- 3Praise the LORD, because he is good. Praise his name, because it brings such joy!
- 4The LORD chose Jacob to be his own. Yes, he chose Israel to be his own people.
- 5I know the LORD is great! Our Lord is greater than all the gods!
- 6The LORD does whatever he wants, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the deep oceans.
- 7He brings the clouds from the other side of the earth. He sends the lightning and the rain, and he opens the doors to release the winds.
- 8He destroyed the firstborn males of the people in Egypt and their animals.
- 9He did great wonders and miracles in Egypt. He used them against Pharaoh and his officials.
- 10He defeated many nations and killed powerful kings.
- 11He defeated Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms in Canaan.
- 12Then he gave their land to Israel, his people.
- 13LORD, your name will be famous forever! LORD, people will remember you forever and ever.
- 14The LORD defends his people; he is kind to his servants.
- 15The gods of other nations are only gold and silver idols that people have made.
- They have mouths, but cannot speak. They have eyes, but cannot see.
