< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.
Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,
2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.
Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.
For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.
For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;
7 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.
Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:
8 He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;
9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.
Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;
10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:
Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,
11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:
Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.
And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.
Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.
14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.
For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.
They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.
They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them.
19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.
House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;
20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.
House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.
21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
