Psalms 135




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

2.  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 * unto his name; for it is pleasant.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

10.  Who smote * great nations, and slew * mighty kings;

11.  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.

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

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

15.  The idols of the heathen 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;

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

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

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

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

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