Psalms 135

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise the Name of the Lord: ye seruants of the Lord, praise him.

Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Praise the Lord, you his servants,

2 Ye that stande in the House of the Lord, and in the courtes of the House of our God,

who 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: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: Sing praise to his name it is pleasant.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Iaakob to himselfe, and Israel for his chiefe treasure.

The Lord for himself chose Jacob, Israel as his own special treasure.

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is aboue all gods.

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

6 Whatsoeuer pleased the Lord, that did hee in heauen and in earth, in the sea, and in all the depths.

All that he wills he does in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all the abysses.

7 He bringeth vp the cloudes from the ends of the earth, and maketh the lightnings with ye raine: he draweth foorth the winde out of his treasures.

Clouds he brings up from the ends of the earth, lightnings he makes for the rain, wind he brings out of his storehouses.

8 He smote the first borne of Egypt both of man and beast.

The firstborn of Egypt he struck, both humans and animals.

9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the middes of thee, O Egypt, vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

Signs and wonders he sent into your midst, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.

10 He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

Many nations he struck, mighty kings he slew

11 As Sihon King of the Amorites, and Og King of Bashan, and all the kingdomes of Canaan:

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

12 And gaue their lande for an inheritance, euen an inheritance vnto Israel his people.

He gave their land for possession, possession to Israel his people.

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: O Lord, thy remembrance is from generation to generation.

Your name, O Lord, is forever; your memorial world without end.

14 For the Lord will iudge his people, and be pacified towardes his seruants.

For the Lord secures right for his people, and takes pity upon his servants.

15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde, euen the worke of mens handes.

The idols of heathen are silver made by human hands.

16 They haue a mouth, and speake not: they haue eyes and see not.

They have mouths, but cannot speak: they have eyes, but cannot see.

17 They haue eares and heare not, neither is there any breath in their mouth.

They have ears, but cannot hear: there is no breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them, are like vnto them: so are all that trust in them.

Their makers become like them, so do all who trust in them.

19 Praise the Lord, ye house of Israel: praise the Lord, ye house of Aaron.

House of Israel, praise the Lord: house of Araon, praise the Lord.

20 Praise the Lord, ye house of Leui: ye that feare the Lord, praise the Lord.

House of Levi, praise the Lord: you who fear the Lord, praise the Lord.

21 Praised bee the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth in Ierusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Blest be the Lord out of Zion, who lives in Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
