Psalm Chapter 135

Psalm 135: Praise the Lord Above All Gods

Psalm 135 calls the servants of the Lord to praise him in the house and courts of God, because the Lord is good, his name is pleasant, and he has chosen Jacob and Israel as his treasured possession. It declares the Lord’s greatness and sovereignty over heaven, earth, seas, and deep places, describing his control of vapors, lightning, rain, and wind. The psalm remembers God’s mighty acts in history, including striking Egypt’s firstborn, sending signs and wonders against Pharaoh, defeating great nations and kings such as Sihon and Og, and giving Canaan as an inheritance to Israel. It contrasts the living Lord with powerless idols of silver and gold, warning that those who trust them become like them, and ends by urging Israel, Aaron, Levi, and all who fear the Lord to bless the Lord from Zion in Jerusalem.

Psalm 135

Praise ye the Lord.

Praise ye the name of the Lord;
praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.

Ye that stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.

Praise the Lord; for the Lord
is good: sing praises unto

his name; for it is pleasant.

For the Lord hath chosen
Jacob unto himself, and Israel

for his peculiar treasure.

For I know that the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that
did he in heaven, and in earth,

in the seas, and all deep places.

He causeth the vapours to ascend
from the ends of the earth; he maketh

lightnings for the rain; he bringeth
the wind out of his treasuries.

Who smote the firstborn of
Egypt, both of man and beast.

Who sent tokens and wonders into
the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon

Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

Who smote great nations,
and slew mighty kings;

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king
of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

And gave their land for an heritage,
an heritage unto Israel his people.

Thy name, O Lord, endureth for
ever; and thy memorial, O Lord,

throughout all generations.

For the Lord will judge his
people, and he will repent

himself concerning his servants.

The idols of the heathen are silver
and gold, the work of men's hands.

They have mouths, but they speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not;

They have ears, but they hear not; neither
is there any breath in their mouths.

They that make them are like unto them:
so is every one that trusteth in them.

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel:
bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:

Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye
that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

Blessed be the Lord out of Zion,
which dwelleth at Jerusalem.

Praise ye the Lord.
