Psalms 135

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

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

³Praise ye the Lord: for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name: for it is a comely thing.

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

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

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

⁷He 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.

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

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

¹⁰He smote many nations, and slew mightie Kings:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

⁷He 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.

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

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

¹⁰Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

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

¹²And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

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

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

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

¹⁶They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

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

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

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

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

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