BSB PSA Chapter 135

Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD

(Psalm 115:1–18)

Hallelujah![fn]

Praise the name of the LORD.

Give praise, O servants of the LORD,

2 who stand in the house of the LORD,

in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good;

sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own,

Israel as His treasured possession.

5 For I know that the LORD is great;

our Lord is above all gods.

6 The LORD does all that pleases Him

in the heavens and on the earth,

in the seas and in all their depths.

7 He causes the clouds to rise

from the ends of the earth.

He generates the lightning with the rain

and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,

of both man and beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,

against Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He struck down many nations

and slaughtered mighty kings:

11 Sihon king of the Amorites,

Og king of Bashan,

and all the kings of Canaan.

12 He gave their land as an inheritance,

as a heritage to His people Israel.

13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever,

Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

14 For the LORD will vindicate His people [fn]

and will have compassion on His servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

made by the hands of men.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak;

they have eyes, but cannot see;

17 they have ears, but cannot hear;

nor is there breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them become like them,

as do all who trust in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD;

O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD;

you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion—

He who dwells in Jerusalem.

Hallelujah!
