Psalms 135
1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of God, praise the works of God. 2 All you priests on duty in God's temple, serving in the sacred halls of our God, 3 Shout "Hallelujah!" because God's so good, sing anthems to his beautiful name. 4 And why? Because God chose Jacob, embraced Israel as a prize possession. 5 I too give witness to the greatness of God, our Lord, high above all other gods. 6He does just as he pleases - however, wherever, whenever. 7 He makes the weather - clouds and thunder, lightning and rain, wind pouring out of the north. 8 He struck down the Egyptian firstborn, both human and animal firstborn. 9 He made Egypt sit up and take notice, confronted Pharaoh and his servants with miracles. 10 Yes, he struck down great nations, he slew mighty kings - 11Sihon king of the Amorites, also Og of Bashan - every last one of the Canaanite kings! 12 Then he turned their land over to Israel, a gift of good land to his people. 13 God, your name is eternal, God, you'll never be out-of-date. 14 God stands up for his people, God holds the hands of his people. 15 The gods of the godless nations are mere trinkets, made for quick sale in the markets:16 Chiseled mouths that can't talk, painted eyes that can't see, 17 Carved ears that can't hear - dead wood! cold metal! 18 Those who make and trust them become like them. 19 Family of Israel, bless God! Family of Aaron, bless God! 20 Family of Levi, bless God! You who fear God, bless God! 21 Oh, blessed be God of Zion, First Citizen of Jerusalem! Hallelujah!

1 Thank God! He deserves your thanks. His love never quits. 2 Thank the God of all gods, His love never quits. 3 Thank the Lord of all lords. His love never quits. 4 Thank the miracle-working God, His love never quits. 5 The God whose skill formed the cosmos, His love never quits. 6 The God who laid out earth on ocean foundations, His love never quits. 7 The God who filled the skies with light, His love never quits. 8 The sun to watch over the day, His love never quits. 9 Moon and stars as guardians of the night, His love never quits. 10 The God who struck down the Egyptian firstborn, His love never quits. 11 And rescued Israel from Egypt's oppression, His love never quits. 12 Took Israel in hand with his powerful hand, His love never quits. 13 Split the Red Sea right in half, His love never quits. 14 Led Israel right through the middle, His love never quits. 15Dumped Pharaoh and his army in the sea, His love never quits. 16 The God who marched his people through the desert, His love never quits. 17 Smashed huge kingdoms right and left, His love never quits. 18 Struck down the famous kings, His love never quits. 19 Struck Sihon the Amorite king, His love never quits. 20 Struck Og the Bashanite king, His love never quits. 21 Then distributed their land as booty, His love never quits. 22 Handed the land over to Israel. His love never quits. 23 God remembered us when we were down, His love never quits. 24 Rescued us from the trampling boot, His love never quits. 25 Takes care of everyone in time of need. His love never quits. 26 Thank God, who did it all! His love never quits!
