Psalms 135

Jacob as His Treasure
1Halleluyah! Praise the Name of Adonai. Give praise, O servants of Adonai—
2standing in the House of Adonai, in the courts of the House of our God.
3Praise Adonai, for Adonai is good. Sing praises to His Name, for it is delightful.
4For Adonai has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasured possession.
5For I have known that Adonai is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
6Whatever Adonai pleases, He does, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
7He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain. He brings wind out of His storehouses.
8He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both man and beast.
9He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh and all his servants.
10He struck down many 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 as an inheritance, an inheritance to His people Israel.
13Adonai, Your Name endures forever, Your renown, Adonai, from generation to generation.
14For Adonai will vindicate His people, and have compassion on His servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of human hands.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see;
17they have ears, but cannot hear, nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18Those who make them will be like them— so will all who keep trusting in them.
19O house of Israel, bless Adonai! O house of Aaron, bless Adonai!
20O house of Levi, bless Adonai! You who revere Adonai, bless Adonai!
21Blessed be Adonai out of Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Halleluyah!

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.
