Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord;

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

2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts 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 Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.

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

4 For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.

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

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

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

6 Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.

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

7 He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.

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 it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;

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

9 Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;

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

10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;

He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

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

12 And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.

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

13 O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.

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

14 For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.

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

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

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

16 Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;

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

17 Ears they have, but they hear 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 Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.

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

19 O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.

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

20 O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

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

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.

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