Psalm 135

Praise for God’s Goodness and Might

¹Praise the Lord!
    Praise the name of the Lord;
    give praise, O servants of the Lord,
²you that stand in the house of the Lord,
    in the courts of the house of our God.
³Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
    sing to his name, for he is gracious.
⁴For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
    Israel as his own possession.

⁵For I know that the Lord is great;
    our Lord is above all gods.
⁶Whatever the Lord pleases he does,
    in heaven and on earth,
    in the seas and all deeps.
⁷He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth;
    he makes lightnings for the rain
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

⁸He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
    both human beings and animals;
⁹he sent signs and wonders
    into your midst, O Egypt,
    against Pharaoh and all his servants.
