Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his 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 that 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 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!

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

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

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

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

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

All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.

7 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:

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 slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

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

He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!

10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that 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 out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

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