1Praise the Lord.[1] Praise the name of the Lord; praise him, you servants of the Lord,2you who minister in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.4For the Lord has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be his treasured possession.5I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.6The Lord does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths.7He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, the firstborn of people and animals.9He sent his signs and wonders into your midst, Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.10He struck down many nations and killed mighty kings –11Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan –12and he gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to his people Israel.13Your name, Lord, endures for ever, your renown, Lord, through all generations.14For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants.15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by human hands.16They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see.17They have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there breath in their mouths.18Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.19All you Israelites, praise the Lord; house of Aaron, praise the Lord;20house of Levi, praise the Lord; you who fear him, praise the Lord.21Praise be to the Lord from Zion, to him who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.
Psalm 135

Your Name, O Lord, Endures Forever
1Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord, give praise, O servants of the Lord, (Ps 104:35; Ps 113:1)2who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God! (Ps 92:13; Ps 134:1)3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing to his name, for it is pleasant![1] (Ps 52:9; Ps 100:5; Ps 147:1)4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel as his own possession. (Ex 19:5; De 7:6; De 10:15; Ps 105:6)5For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. (Ps 95:3)6Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. (Ps 115:3)7He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. (Job 28:25; Job 38:22; Job 38:25; Jer 10:13; Jer 51:16; Zec 10:1)8He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast; (Ps 78:51)9who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants; (De 6:22)10who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings, (Ps 136:17)11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan, (Nu 21:21; Nu 21:33; De 29:7; Jos 12:7)12and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel. (De 29:8; Ps 78:55)13Your name, O Lord, endures forever, your renown,[2] O Lord, throughout all ages. (Ex 3:15; Ps 102:12)14For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants. (De 32:36; Ps 90:13)15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands. (Ps 115:4)16They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;17they have ears, but do not hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.18Those who make them become like them, so do all who trust in them.19O house of Israel, bless the Lord! O house of Aaron, bless the Lord! (Ps 115:9)20O house of Levi, bless the Lord! You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!21Blessed be the Lord from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord! (Ps 128:5; Ps 132:13; Ps 135:1)
