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 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 praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

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

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

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.

For I know that the LORD is great, and 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.

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath he done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas 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 vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth forth 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.

He sent signs and wonders 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 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 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 heritage, an heritage unto 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, throughout all generations.

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

For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself concerning 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; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.

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

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

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

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

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

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