The Book of Psalms, Chapter 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.
