Psalms 135

1 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD’s name! Praise him, you servants of the LORD,

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

2 you who stand in the LORD’s house, in the courts of our God’s house.

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 to his name, for that is pleasant.

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

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself, Israel for his own possession.

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

5 For 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 Whatever the LORD pleased, that he has done, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.

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

7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with the rain. He brings the wind out of his treasuries.

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 He struck the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and animal.

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

9 He sent signs and wonders into the middle of you, Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

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

10 He struck many nations, and killed mighty kings—

Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, 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 a heritage, a heritage to Israel, his people.

And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Your name, LORD, endures forever; your renown, LORD, throughout all generations.

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

14 For the LORD will judge his people and have compassion on his servants.

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

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

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

16 They have mouths, but they can’t speak. They have eyes, but they can’t see.

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

17 They have ears, but they can’t hear, neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

18 Those who make them will be like them, yes, everyone who trusts in them.

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

19 House of Israel, praise the LORD! House of Aaron, praise the LORD!

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

20 House of Levi, praise the LORD! You who fear the LORD, praise the LORD!

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

21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

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