Question : SQL Best way to delete multiple records from a database

If I have a table that has a million records.  And I also have a text file list of one field in those records that is unique.  Lets call it ID.  What is the best SQL statement to do a delete for those records?  Do I have to make a second lookup table or can i simple do something like:

DELETE FROM table_name
WHERE ID = {value1, value11, value34, value39}

the values are not consequtive so wondering if i can just paste all the values in the where statement or not nad what the connotation would be.
