PsalmsPsalm 135 |
|
1 PRAISE the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD; praise him, O servants of the LORD. |
|
2 You 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 praises to his name, for he is delightful. |
|
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to himself, and Israel for his congregation. |
|
5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our LORD is above all gods. |
|
6 Whatsoever the LORD pleases, that he does in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places. |
|
7 He causes the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightnings for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries. |
|
8 He smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast, |
|
9 Who sent forth his signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants, |
|
10 Who smote many 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 a heritage, a heritage to Israel his people. |
|
13 Thy name, O LORD, endures for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. |
|
14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will delight in 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 Let them that make them become like them, and every one who trusts 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; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD. |
|
21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem. Praise the LORD, |
