Psalm 135:7-21 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7. Who causes the vapors to arise from the ends of the earth, Who makes lightnings for the rain, Who brings the wind out of His storehouses;

8. Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; [Exod. 12:12, 29; Ps. 78:51; 136:10.]

9. Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants;

10. Who smote nations many and great and slew mighty kings–

11. Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan.

12. [The Lord] gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to Israel His people.

13. Your name, O Lord, endures forever, Your fame, O Lord, throughout all ages.

14. For the Lord will judge and vindicate His people, and He will delay His judgments [manifesting His righteousness and mercy] and take into favor His servants [those who meet His terms of separation unto Him]. [Heb. 10:30.]

15. The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16. [Idols] have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17. They have ears, but they hear not, nor is there any breath in their mouths.

18. Those who make [idols] are like them; so is everyone who trusts in and relies on them. [Ps. 115:4-8.]

19. Bless (affectionately and gratefully praise) the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron [God's ministers].

20. Bless the Lord, O house of Levi [the dedicated tribe]; you who reverently and worshipfully fear the Lord, bless the Lord [affectionately and gratefully praise Him]! [Deut. 6:5; Ps. 31:23.]

21. Blessed out of Zion be the Lord, Who dwells [with us] at Jerusalem! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
