< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes 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 praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.
I know that the LORD is great; That 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.
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in 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.
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 smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.
He smote the first-born 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.
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 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:
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
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 Israel, his people.
13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on 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 mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, 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; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
