Psalm

135 1 Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD! Offer praise, you servants of the LORD,
2 who serve in the LORD's temple, in the courts of the temple of our God.
3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good! Sing praises to his name, for it is pleasant!
4 Indeed, the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel to be his special possession.
5 Yes, I know the LORD is great, and our Lord is superior to all gods.
6 He does whatever he pleases in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the ocean depths.
7 He causes the clouds to arise from the end of the earth, makes lightning bolts accompany the rain, and brings the wind out of his storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, including both men and animals.
9 He performed awesome deeds and acts of judgment in your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
10 He defeated many nations, and killed mighty kings -
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance to Israel his people.
13 O LORD, your name endures, your reputation, O LORD, lasts.
14 For the LORD vindicates his people, and has compassion on his servants.
15 The nations' idols are made of silver and gold, they are man-made.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,
17 and ears, but cannot hear. Indeed, they cannot breathe.
18 Those who make them will end up like them, as will everyone who trusts in them.
19 O family of Israel, praise the LORD! O family of Aaron, praise the LORD!
20 O family of Levi, praise the LORD! You loyal followers of the LORD, praise the LORD!
21 The LORD deserves praise in Zion - he who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!
136 1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his loyal love endures.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods, for his loyal love endures.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his loyal love endures,
4 to the one who performs magnificent, amazing deeds all by himself, for his loyal love endures,
5 to the one who used wisdom to make the heavens, for his loyal love endures,
6 to the one who spread out the earth over the water, for his loyal love endures,
7 to the one who made the great lights, for his loyal love endures,
8 the sun to rule by day, for his loyal love endures,
9 the moon and stars to rule by night, for his loyal love endures,
10 to the one who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for his loyal love endures,
11 and led Israel out from their midst, for his loyal love endures,
12 with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for his loyal love endures,
13 to the one who divided the Red Sea in two, for his loyal love endures,
14 and led Israel through its midst, for his loyal love endures,
15 and tossed Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea, for his loyal love endures,
16 to the one who led his people through the wilderness, for his loyal love endures,
17 to the one who struck down great kings, for his loyal love endures,
18 and killed powerful kings, for his loyal love endures,
19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, for his loyal love endures,
20 Og, king of Bashan, for his loyal love endures,
21 and gave their land as an inheritance, for his loyal love endures,
22 as an inheritance to Israel his servant, for his loyal love endures,
23 to the one who remembered us when we were down, for his loyal love endures,
24 and snatched us away from our enemies, for his loyal love endures,
25 to the one who gives food to all living things, for his loyal love endures.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his loyal love endures!
137 1 By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep when we remember Zion.
2 On the poplars in her midst we hang our harps,
3 for there our captors ask us to compose songs; those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying: "Sing for us a song about Zion!"
4 How can we sing a song to the LORD in a foreign land?
5 If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand be crippled!
6 May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth, if I do not remember you, and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.
7 Remember, O LORD, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell. They said, "Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation!"
8 O daughter Babylon, soon to be devastated! How blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us!
9 How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock!
