Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!

Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the LORD; give praise, O ye servants of the LORD,

2 Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts 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; Praise his name, for he is kind!

Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.

4 For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.

For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His own treasure.

5 I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord is above all gods.

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

6 All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.

Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that hath He done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;

7 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.

Who 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-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!

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 mighty kings;

Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

11 Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;

Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

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

And gave their land for a heritage, a heritage unto Israel His people.

13 Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!

O LORD, Thy name endureth for ever; thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.

For the LORD will judge His people, and repent Himself for His servants.

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

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

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.

They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.

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

18 They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.

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

19 Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!

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

20 Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

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

21 Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!

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