Psalms 135

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

Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

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

Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes 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 praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

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

For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

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

For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue 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.

Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.

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 vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

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

He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.

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

He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

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

As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

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

And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

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

Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

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

For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

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

The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

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

They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

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

They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

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

They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

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

Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

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

Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

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

Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
