Psalms 135

1 Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.

2 You who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:

Ye that 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 psalms to his name, for it is sweet.

Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good; sing praises to his name; for [it is] pleasant.

4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure.

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

For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our LORD [is] above all gods.

6 All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.

Whatever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.

He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

8 He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.

Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.

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

[Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

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

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 And he gave their land as an inheritance, as an inheritance for his people Israel.

And gave their land [for] a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people.

13 Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.

Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants.

For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent concerning his servants.

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

The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

16 They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not.

17 They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

18 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.

They that make them are like them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them.

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21 The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.

Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
