Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him], O ye servants of the LORD.

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,

3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant.

Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.

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

For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

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

I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

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.

He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

9 [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms 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 heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

15 The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

The images 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 no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

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

They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them.

Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.

19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:

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

Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.

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

Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.
