Psalms 135:8-14
Psalms 135:5-18 The Message (MSG)
I, too, give witness to the greatness of GOD, our Lord, high above all other gods. He does just as he pleases— however, wherever, whenever. He makes the weather—clouds and thunder, lightning and rain, wind pouring out of the north. He struck down the Egyptian firstborn, both human and animal firstborn. He made Egypt sit up and take notice, confronted Pharaoh and his servants with miracles. Yes, he struck down great nations, he slew mighty kings— Sihon king of the Amorites, also Og of Bashan— every last one of the Canaanite kings! Then he turned their land over to Israel, a gift of good land to his people. GOD, your name is eternal, GOD, you’ll never be out-of-date. GOD stands up for his people, GOD holds the hands of his people. The gods of the godless nations are mere trinkets, made for quick sale in the markets: Chiseled mouths that can’t talk, painted eyes that can’t see, Carved ears that can’t hear— dead wood! cold metal! Those who make and trust them become like them.
Psalms 135:8-14 King James Version (KJV)
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast. Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. Who smote great nations, And slew mighty kings; Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan: And gave their land for an heritage, An heritage unto Israel his people. Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; And thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. For the LORD will judge his people, And he will repent himself concerning his servants.
Psalms 135:8-14 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
He smote the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast. He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. He smote many nations And slew mighty kings, Sihon, king of the Amorites, And Og, king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan; And He gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. Your name, O LORD, is everlasting, Your remembrance, O LORD, throughout all generations. For the LORD will judge His people And will have compassion on His servants.
Psalms 135:8-14 New Century Version (NCV)
He destroyed the firstborn sons in Egypt the firstborn of both people and animals. He did many signs and miracles in Egypt against the king and his servants. He defeated many nations and killed powerful kings: Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan. Then he gave their land as a gift, a gift to his people, the Israelites. LORD, your name is everlasting; LORD, you will be remembered forever. The LORD defends his people and has mercy on his servants.
