Psalm 135
1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord. | |
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. | |
3 Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. | |
4 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 above all gods. | |
6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. | |
7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. | |
8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. | |
9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. | |
10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; | |
11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: | |
12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. | |
13 Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations. | |
14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. | |
15 The idols of the heathen 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; | |
17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. | |
18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. | |
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron: | |
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord. | |
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord. |
