Psalms 135

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

Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,

You that 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 praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

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

For the Lord 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 have known that the Lord is great, and our God 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 the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the 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.

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:

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

He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

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

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

10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated 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 Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

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

Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

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

Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
