Psalms 135

1 Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord. You servants, praise 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 house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God:

Ye who 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 psalms to his name, for it is sweet.

Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!

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

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

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

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

6 All things whatsoever that he willed, the Lord did: in heaven, on earth, in the sea, and in all the deep places.

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

7 He leads clouds from the ends of the earth. He has created lightnings in the rain. He has produced winds from his storehouses.

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.

8 He struck the first-born of Egypt, from man even to cattle.

He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt: upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants.

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

10 He has struck many nations, and he has slaughtered strong kings:

He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;

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

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

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

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

13 Your name, O Lord, is in eternity. Your memorial, O Lord, is from generation to generation.

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

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will be petitioned by his servants.

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

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

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

16 They have a mouth, and do not speak. They have eyes, and do not see.

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

17 They have ears, and do not hear. For neither is there any breath in their mouths.

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

18 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.

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

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

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

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

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

21 The Lord is blessed from Zion, by those who dwell in Jerusalem.

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