Psalms 135

1Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

1Alleluia. Praise the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2You who are in the house of the Lord, and in the open spaces of the house of our God,

2Praise ye the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.

3Give praise to Jah, for he is good: make melody to his name, for it is pleasing.

3Praise ye the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.

4For the Lord has taken Jacob for himself, and Israel for his property.

4Who alone doth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.

5I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is greater than all other gods.

5Who made the heavens in understanding: for his mercy endureth for ever.

6The Lord has done whatever was pleasing to him, in heaven, and on the earth, in the seas and in all the deep waters.

6Who established the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

7He makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes thunder-flames for the rain; he sends out the winds from his store-houses.

7Who made the great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever.

8He put to death the first-fruits of Egypt, of man and of beast.

8The sun to rule the day: for his mercy endureth for ever.

9He sent signs and wonders among you, O Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his servants.

9The moon and the stars to rule the night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

10He overcame great nations, and put strong kings to death;

10Who smote Egypt with their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever.

11Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

11Who brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever.

12And gave their land for a heritage, even for a heritage to Israel his people.

12With a mighty hand and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.

13O Lord, your name is eternal; and the memory of you will have no end.

13Who divided the Red Sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever.

14For the Lord will be judge of his people's cause; his feelings will be changed to his servants.

14And brought out Israel through the midst thereof: for his mercy endureth for ever.

15The images of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

15And overthrew Pharao and his host in the Red Sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.

16They have mouths, but no voice, they have eyes, but they do not see;

16Who led his people through the desert: for his mercy endureth for ever.

17They have ears, but no hearing; and there is no breath in their mouths.

17Who smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.

18Those who make them are like them; and so is everyone who puts his hope in them.

18And slew strong kings: for his mercy endureth for ever.

19Give praise to the Lord, O children of Israel: give praise to the Lord, O sons of Aaron:

19Sehon king of the Amorrhites: for his mercy endureth for ever.

20Give praise to the Lord, O sons of Levi: let all the worshippers of the Lord give him praise.

20And Og king of Basan: for his mercy endureth for ever.

21Praise be to the Lord out of Zion, even to the Lord whose house is in Jerusalem, Let the Lord be praised.

21And he gave their land for an inheritance: for his mercy endureth for ever.
