Psalms 135
135
1Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Praise him, you servants of the Lord,
2you who serve in the Lord’s Temple,
in the courtyard of the Temple of our God.
3Praise the Lord, because he is good.
Praise his name, because it brings such joy!
4The Lord chose Jacob to be his own.
Yes, he chose Israel to be his own people.
5I know the Lord is great!
Our Lord is greater than all the gods!
6The Lord does whatever he wants,
in heaven and on earth, in the seas and the deep oceans.
7He brings the clouds from the other side of the earth.
He sends the lightning and the rain,
and he opens the doors to release the winds.
8He destroyed the firstborn males of the people in Egypt and their animals.
9He did great wonders and miracles in Egypt.
He used them against Pharaoh and his officials.
10He defeated many nations
and killed powerful kings.
11He defeated Sihon, king of the Amorites,
Og, king of Bashan,
and all the kingdoms in Canaan.
12Then he gave their land to Israel, his people.
13Lord, your name will be famous forever!
Lord, people will remember you forever and ever.
14The Lord defends his people;
he is kind to his servants.
15The gods of other nations are only gold and silver idols
that people have made.
16They have mouths, but cannot speak.
They have eyes, but cannot see.
17They have ears, but cannot hear.
They have mouths, but no breath.
18Those who make idols and trust in them
will become just like the idols they have made.
19Family of Israel, praise the Lord!
Aaron’s family, praise the Lord!
20Levi’s family, praise the Lord!
All you who worship the Lord, praise the Lord!
21The Lord should be praised from Zion,
from Jerusalem, his home.
Praise the Lord!

Psalms 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.
