Psalms 135

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

Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!

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

Ye who 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; Praise his name, for he is kind!

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

For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.

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

I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord 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.

All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all 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 causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.

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

He smote the first-born 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 sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and 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.

Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;

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 Israel, his people.

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

Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!

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

For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.

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

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.

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

They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, 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; And there is no breath in their mouths.

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

They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.

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

Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!

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

Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

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

Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
