Psalms 135

1 Praise the Lord! Praise his name, you servants of the Lord,

2 who stand in the Lord's house, in the Temple of our God.

3 Praise the Lord, because he is good; sing praises to his name, because he is kind.

4 He chose Jacob for himself, the people of Israel for his own.

5 I know that our Lord is great, greater than all the gods.

6 He does whatever he wishes in heaven and on earth, in the seas and in the depths below.

7 He brings storm clouds from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the storms, and he brings out the wind from his storeroom.

8 In Egypt he killed all the first-born of people and animals alike.

9 There he performed miracles and wonders to punish the king and all his officials.

10 He destroyed many nations and killed powerful kings:

11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings in Canaan.

12 He gave their lands to his people; he gave them to Israel.

13 Lord, you will always be proclaimed as God; all generations will remember you.

14 The Lord will defend his people; he will take pity on his servants.

15 The gods of the nations are made of silver and gold; they are formed by human hands.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, and eyes, but cannot see.

17 They have ears, but cannot hear; they are not even able to breathe.

18 May all who made them and who trust in them become like the idols they have made!

19 Praise the Lord, people of Israel; praise him, you priests of God!

20 Praise the Lord, you Levites; praise him, all you that worship him!

21 Praise the Lord in Zion, in Jerusalem, his home. Praise the Lord!

Psalms 136

2 Give thanks to the greatest of all gods; his love is eternal.

3 Give thanks to the mightiest of all lords; his love is eternal.

4 He alone performs great miracles; his love is eternal.

5 By his wisdom he made the heavens; his love is eternal;

6 he built the earth on the deep waters; his love is eternal.

7 He made the sun and the moon; his love is eternal;

8 the sun to rule over the day; his love is eternal;

9 the moon and the stars to rule over the night; his love is eternal.

10 He killed the first-born sons of the Egyptians; his love is eternal.

11 He led the people of Israel out of Egypt; his love is eternal;

12 with his strong hand, his powerful arm; his love is eternal.

13 He divided the Red Sea; his love is eternal;

14 he led his people through it; his love is eternal;

15 but he drowned the king of Egypt and his army; his love is eternal.

16 He led his people through the desert; his love is eternal.

17 He killed powerful kings; his love is eternal;

18 he killed famous kings; his love is eternal;

19 Sihon, king of the Amorites; his love is eternal;

20 and Og, king of Bashan; his love is eternal.

21 He gave their lands to his people; his love is eternal;

22 he gave them to Israel, his servant; his love is eternal.

23 He did not forget us when we were defeated; his love is eternal;

24 he freed us from our enemies; his love is eternal.

25 He gives food to every living creature; his love is eternal.

26 Give thanks to the God of heaven; his love is eternal.
