Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,

Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.

He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.

For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion— He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
