Psaumes 135.20
English standard version

Le Dieu véritable et les idoles

¹ Praise the Lord!
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 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing to his name, for it is pleasant!
⁴ For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his own possession.
⁵ For I know that the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
⁶ Whatever the Lord pleases, he does,
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all deeps.
⁷ He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
who makes lightnings for the rain
and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.
⁸ He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;
⁹ who in your midst, O Egypt,
sent signs and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
¹⁰ who struck down many nations
and killed mighty kings,
¹¹ Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
¹² and gave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to his people Israel.
¹³ Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.
¹⁴ For the Lord will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.
¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
¹⁶ They have mouths, but do not speak;
they have eyes, but do not see;
¹⁷ they have ears, but do not hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
¹⁸ Those who make them become like them,
so 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!
Praise the Lord!
