Psalm 135:8-21

New Living Translation

⁸He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian home,
    both people and animals.
⁹He performed miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt
    against Pharaoh and all his people.
¹⁰He struck down great nations
    and slaughtered mighty kings—
¹¹Sihon king of the Amorites,
    Og king of Bashan,
    and all the kings of Canaan.
¹²He gave their land as an inheritance,
    a special possession to his people Israel.

¹³Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
your fame, O Lord, is known to every generation.
¹⁴For the Lord will give justice to his people
and have compassion on his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold,
    shaped by human hands.
¹⁶They have mouths but cannot speak,
    and eyes but cannot see.
¹⁷They have ears but cannot hear,
    and mouths but cannot breathe.
¹⁸And those who make idols are just like them,
    as are all who trust in them.

¹⁹O Israel, praise the Lord!
    O priests—descendants of Aaron—praise the Lord!
²⁰O Levites, praise the Lord!
    All you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord!
²¹The Lord be praised from Zion,
    for he lives here in Jerusalem.
