Psalms 135:1-11

1 1Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD, give praise, O 2servants of the LORD,
2 who 3stand in the house of the LORD, in 4the courts of the house of our God!
3 Praise the LORD, for 5the LORD is good; sing to his name, 6for it is pleasant![a]
4 For the LORD has 7chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his 8own possession.
5 For I know that 9the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 10Whatever the LORD pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps.
7 11He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who 12makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his 13storehouses.
8 He it was who 14struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast;
9 who in your midst, O Egypt, sent 15signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 16who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings,
11 17Sihon, king of the Amorites, and 18Og, king of Bashan, and 19all the kingdoms of Canaan,
