Psalms 135:8-19 New English Translation (NET)

8. He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,including both men and animals.

9. He performed awesome deeds and acts of judgmentin 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!
