| 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. |
