Psalms 135
135
Ps 115:4–11
1Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord;
praise Him, O servants of the Lord, # Ps 134:1
2you who stand in the house of the Lord, # Ps 92:13
in the courts of the house of our God! # Ps 116:19
3Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; # Ps 119:68
sing praises to His name, for it is pleasant. # Ps 147:1
4For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel for His own possession. # Dt 10:15; 1Pe 2:9
5For I know that the Lord is great, # Ps 48:1
and that our Lord is above all gods. # Ps 95:3
6Whatever the Lord pleases,
He does, in heaven and on earth, # Ps 115:3
in the seas and in all deep places.
7It is He who causes the mist to ascend from the ends of the earth,
who makes lightning for the rain,
and brings forth the wind from His treasuries. # Jer 10:13; 51:16; Zec 10:1
8It is He who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, # Ex 12:12; Ps 78:51
both of man and beast;
9who sent into your midst, O Egypt, signs and wonders # Dt 6:22
upon Pharaoh and all his servants; # Ps 136:15
10who struck down many nations
and slew mighty kings, # Ps 136:17–22
11Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og, king of Bashan, # Jos 12:7–24
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12and gave their land as a heritage,
a heritage to His people Israel. # Ps 78:55; 136:21–22
13Your name, O Lord, endures forever,
Your remembrance, O Lord, throughout all generations. # Ex 3:15; Ps 102:12
14For the Lord will vindicate His people, # Dt 32:36; Ps 50:4
and He will have compassion on His servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of men’s hands. # Ps 115:4–8; Isa 44:9–20
16Mouths have they, but they speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not;
17ears have they, but they hear not,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them are like them;
so is everyone who trusts in them.
19O house of Israel, bless the Lord!
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord!
20O house of Levi, bless the Lord!
You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!
21Blessed be the Lord from Zion, # Ps 132:13–14; 134:3
He who dwells in Jerusalem!
Praise the Lord!

Psalms 135
135
PSALM 135
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord, the Lord's name praise;
his servants, praise ye God.
2Who stand in God's house, in the courts
of our God make abode.
3Praise ye the Lord, for he is good;
unto him praises sing:
Sing praises to his name, because
it is a pleasant thing.
4For Jacob to himself the Lord
did chuse of his good pleasure,
And he hath chosen Israel
for his peculiar treasure.
5Because I know assuredly
the Lord is very great,
And that our Lord above all gods
in glory hath his seat.
6What things soever pleas'd the Lord,
that in the heav'n did he,
And in the earth, the seas,
and all the places deep that be.
7He from the ends of earth doth make
the vapours to ascend;
With rain he lightnings makes, and wind
doth from his treasures send.
8Egypt's first-born, from man to beast
9who smote. Strange tokens he
On Phar'oh and his servants sent,
Egypt, in midst of thee.
10He smote great nations, slew great kings:
11Sihon of Heshbon king,
And Og of Bashan, and to nought
did Canaan's kingdoms bring:
12And for a wealthy heritage
their pleasant land he gave,
An heritage which Israel,
his chosen folk, should have.
13Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure,
and thy memorial
With honour shall continu'd be
to generations all.
14For why? the righteous God will judge
his people righteously;
Concerning those that do him serve,
himself repent will he.
15The idols of the nations
of silver are and gold,
And by the hands of men is made
their fashion and mould.
16Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
eyes, but they do not see;
17Ears have they, but hear not; and in
their mouths no breathing be.
18Their makers are like them; so are
all that on them rely.
19O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God,
O Aaron's family.
20O bless the Lord, of Levi's house
ye who his servants are;
And bless the holy name of God,
all ye the Lord that fear.
21And blessed be the Lord our God
from Sion's holy hill,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
The Lord O praise ye still.
