PSALM 135 THE LORD WHO IS GREAT AND IS ABOVE ALL GODS
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. – Psalm 135:1-7

THE LORD DOES WHATEVER HE PLEASES by ILMA
Acclaim the Lord who is great and is above all gods
Servants of the Lord, give him all glory and praise
He is the Maker of all things in heaven and on earth
He is in control of all things; whatever he pleases, he does
No other gods can have the power to bring life
They have no ability to help people or shine their light
The Lord is all-knowing and all-seeing, he is above all
If you choose to follow him, you will not be tempted to fall
Trust in the only God who can deliver you from sin
He is faithful to protect you from the devil’s schemes
Trust in the Lord alone for he is steadfast in his love
Do only what please him so you can discern his ways.
